One more plugin named 'archiver' is added to the plugins list.... It archives all PRIVMSG conversations onto a MySQL database in perl (only privmsg as of now because of limitations in plugin core (plugin.py)). It uses Net::MySQL.
google plugin lets you grab the first 5 links from google along with their titles.
Currently available only in CVS will be available in v0.02 (apparently, I think not 0.02c ;) )
There is a new weather plugin for indian cities writen in perl. see it in action at irc.freenode.net #pyantra!
To test this out, /join #pyantra on irc.freenode.net and see if PYantra is online. Thats the name of our bot, btw ;)
ask it for weather information by typing "!weather" (without the quotes). It would show the list of cities for which it can show the info. Type "!weather <city>" to see detailed information.
This plugin depends on lynx browser, not that it will matter to you. However if you wanted to run this bot from your machine, you would certainly have to have lynx installed.
This plugin is not included in 0.01c and is available ONLY in the CVS. Check it out from the cvs sources.
To help interested hackers, I have written the PYantra Hacking Guide and a Plugins HOWTO.

yes! its not a bird! its not a plane! its PYantra! and it has seen its first ever release - the 0.01c. well, what is the 'c' in 0.01c? c stands for 'crap' because though technically the bot is functional, there aren't enough plugins to let you use the bot for any specific purpose.
Please join us and write attractive bots. Technically, pyantra's bots can be anything that can read STDIN and write to STDOUT! so come join us and have phun! :^) See the files section to download this release.
