unicode-escape appears to do bad things to hiragana and probably
all unicode characters that are not unicode escaped. ultimately
it seems that google's responses are not consistent.
back to the drawing board.
This reverts commit 40888869b0.
this works via Module.reply(). if it produces IRC output, it returns
"NO MORE", which is returned by do(), which is returned by the handler,
which instructs irclib to cease calling handlers. now all we need
is some priorities for the modules (also supported by irclib) and
we may be in business
IrcAdmin:
* have sub_unload_module() call the module's shutdown() before deleting stuff
* sub_unload_module() needs to delete the sys.modules entry too
* slightly more verbose output in sub_unload_module()
* sub_reload_module() now does a self.sub_unload_module() + self.sub_load_module()
Module:
* remove reload() --- modules must now safely handle shutdown
note that nothing megahal is shipped with the bot now, including
train files. this bot will expect a ./megahal.trn, and will write
to ./megahal.brn (in addition to a slew of other ./megahal.*
files).
implementation is from http://megahal.alioth.debian.org/
as much as i find this uncouth, it is handy, and also it seems
that the megahal brain gets corrupted/unusable when an exception
isn't caught and the bot dies. this should cover most of the
cases
this comes with a recursion rewrite and simplification; it works
a bit more intuitively, now, but i still haven't figured out what
caused the bug that led me down this rabbit hole.
in any event, Alias now rules the roost when it comes to recursion,
which means it's a bit poorly named, but also means that there
won't (shouldn't) be multiple accidental runs for one output, caused
by multiple modules doing the recursion (despite only one really
having a legitimate reason to) --- a classic case of the intended
use of recursion (including the comment to only recurse when you
*know* the input is for you) being lost and forgotten with time
this also obsoletes meta.skip_recursion_scan. between this commit
and the last, people would be wise to revise their config files
