Socket problems

[jjbutler88@gmail.com]

I am trying to write a simple python IRC client, roughly following
this guide: http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Python/Python-and-IRC/

I have written some code, which uses the same commands as the guide,
but I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framewor k/Versions/2.5/lib/
python2.5/threading.py", line 486, in __bootstrap_inn er
self.run()
File "pythonirc. py", line 31, in run
self.sock.send( 'NICK %s\r\n') % self.nick
AttributeError: send

Here is my code so far:

#!/usr/bin/env python

from socket import *
from threading import Thread
import sys

class IRCBot(Thread):
def __init__(self, host, room, nick, port=6667, ssl=0):
Thread.__init__(self)
self.host = host
self.port = port
self.ssl = ssl
self.room = room
self.nick = nick
self.sock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)

def run(self):
print "Connecting..."
try:
self.sock.connect((self.host, self.port))
except:
print "Could not connect to %s" % self.host
sys.exit(1)
if self.ssl:
try:
self.sock = ssl(self.sock)
except:
print "Server does not suport SSL"
sys.exit(1)

self.sock.send('NICK %s\r\n') % self.nick
self.sock.send('USER PyIRC PyIRC PyIRC :Python IRC\r\n')
self.sock.send('JOIN #%s\r\n') % self.room
while True:
data = self.sock.recv(4096)
if data.find('PING') != -1:
self.sock.send('PONG' + data.split()[1]+'\r\n')
print data

def close(self):
self.sock.send('PART #%s\r\n') % self.room
self.sock.send('QUIT\r\n')
self.sock.shutdown(SHIT_RDWR)
self.sock.close()

IRCBot('irc.psych0tik.net','hbh', 'pythonircclient',6697,1).start()

Anyone know why it might be doing this? Config problem?

Thanks in advance,
Jon

Re: Socket problems

SSL objects use "write", not "send".

You also need to change this:

self.sock.write ('NICK %s\r\n') % self.nick

to this:

self.sock.write ('NICK %s\r\n' % self.nick)

If you don't, the interpreter will bomb on trying to concatenate the
return value for "write" (an integer) with the string self.nick.

Hope this helps...
