Done.

If you want to test, I added new option called "nickused" in weercd.py (in git: test/weercd.py).
You can test with this command line:


./weercd.py action=user nickused=50

This item has been reassigned from the project WeeChat bugs tracker to your tracker.

[field #13]                  Summary: Generate alternative nicknames dynamically instead of disconnecting
[field #14]      Original Submission: When the list of configured nicknames is exhausted, generate new alternatives based on the primary nickname. An algorithm based on irssi would work: keep appending an underscore until the nickname is at least 9 characters long, then truncate to 9 characters and overwrite a number at the end of the nickname.

e.g. irc.server_default.nicks = "abc,def,ghi,jkl"
Try:
abc
def
ghi
jkl
abc_
abc__
abc___
abc____
abc_____
abc______
abc_____1
abc_____2
...
abc____99

Reconnecting repeatedly just because there are no more nicknames to try isn't appropriate behaviour.
