Description

ServerConnection objects are instantiated by calling the server method on an IRC object.

add_global_handler(self, *args)

Add global handler.

See documentation for IRC.add_global_handler.

close(self)

Close the connection.

This method closes the connection permanently; after it has been called, the object is unusable.

connect(self, server, port, nickname, password=None, username=None, ircname=None)

Connect/reconnect to a server.

server
Server name.
port
Port number.
nickname
The nickname.
password=None
Password (if any).
username=None
The username.
ircname=None
The IRC name.

This function can be called to reconnect a closed connection.

Returns the ServerConnection object.

get_nickname(self)

Get the (real) nick name.

This method returns the (real) nickname. The library keeps track of nick changes, so it might not be the nick name that was passed to the connect() method.

get_server_name(self)

Get the (real) server name.

This method returns the (real) server name, or, more specifically, what the server calls itself.

is_connected(self)

Return connection status.

Returns true if connected, otherwise false.

send_raw(self, string)

Send raw string to the server.

The string will be padded with appropriate CR LF.
