12 Supybot is a robust, user-friendly, and programmer-friendly Python IRC
13 bot. It aims to be an adequate replacement for most existing IRC bots.
14 It includes a very flexible and powerful ACL system for controlling
15 access to commands, as well as more than 50 builtin plugins providing
16 around 400 actual commands.

45 line option to enable it.
