Github Project link

This is an IRC Bot with the following features:

• Client chat support
• Plugins system
• Hotswapping / Hot reloading plugins
• Unit Testing with Travis CI!

This plugin bot is essentially an IRC bot engine, where it runs all the necessities as a client. To extend the features, you copy the template.py script in the /plugins folder, and edit the contents for your needs. After that, all you have to do is to follow the instructions given by the bot when it runs, and you go from there.

Is the threading library still serialized by the GIL?

Is the threading library still serialized by the GIL?

This doesn't use CPython, so I'm pretty sure I don't have GIL. Also, the threads don't interact with each other, or use shared memory.

I used the native Python standard threading library, so I'm not sure of its internal details.
