irssi-python (Python 2.x scripting support for irssi)
irssi-python embeds Python into an Irssi module, providing most of the
functionality of the Perl wrapper to Python scripts using a similar
interface.
After the package is installed, you can test it from within irssi by
running "/load python". If this works OK, you can configure irssi to
always load the module with a command like:
$ echo 'load python' >> ~/.irssi/startup
Beware of upgrades: if Slackware's irssi or python packages are ever
upgraded, you'll almost certainly have to rebuild & reinstall this.
Symptoms may include irssi ABI version mismatch errors or segfaults.
If you get a warning about an irssi version mismatch when building
irssi-python, first update your irssi package to the latest one for
your Slackware version:
# slackpkg update
# slackpkg upgrade irssi
If you still get the warning, set the environment variable VERSION.
The first part of VERSION (before the _) should not change, but the
part after the _ is the irssi version. Example:
# VERSION="test4_1.2.5" sh irssi-python.SlackBuild
You'll also have to have the irssi .tar.xz source tarball in the
SlackBuild directory. It should be available from:
