Slack Machine is a simple, yet powerful and extendable Slack bot framework. More than just a bot, Slack Machine is a framework that helps you develop your Slack workspace into a ChatOps powerhouse. Slack Machine is built with an intuitive plugin system that lets you build bots quickly but also allows for easy code organization. A plugin can look as simple as this:
General and simple IRC bot framework with very flexible bus architecture and plugins support, originally written for use as RPC gateway for remote message sending to multiple IRC channels or users. Now: http://github.com/martinkozak/pyircgate-daemon.
Using this plugin-based framework, you can instantly start working on the *brain* of your bot (irc bot, chatterbot, robot, ...). With support for db, irc, logging and programming-language independent plugins, users can easily enhance the functionality.
