# -*- coding: utf-8 -*- ## EarwigBot's Core ## EarwigBot has three components that can run independently of each other: an ## IRC front-end, an IRC watcher, and a wiki scheduler. ## * The IRC front-end runs on a normal IRC server and expects users to ## interact with it/give it commands. ## * The IRC watcher runs on a wiki recent-changes server and listens for ## edits. Users cannot interact with this part of the bot. ## * The wiki scheduler runs wiki-editing bot tasks in separate threads at ## user-defined times through a cron-like interface. ## There is a "priority" system here: ## 1. If the IRC frontend is enabled, it will run on the main thread, and the ## IRC watcher and wiki scheduler (if enabled) will run on separate threads. ## 2. If the wiki scheduler is enabled, it will run on the main thread, and the ## IRC watcher (if enabled) will run on a separate thread. ## 3. If the IRC watcher is enabled, it will run on the main (and only) thread. ## Else, the bot will stop, as no components are enabled. import threading import time import traceback import sys import os parent_dir = os.path.split(sys.path[0])[0] sys.path.append(parent_dir) # make sure we look in the parent directory for modules from config.main import * from irc import frontend, watcher from wiki import task_manager f_conn = None w_conn = None def irc_watcher(f_conn): """Function to handle the IRC watcher as another thread (if frontend and/or scheduler is enabled), otherwise run as the main thread.""" global w_conn print "\nStarting IRC watcher..." while 1: # restart the watcher component if (just) it breaks w_conn = watcher.get_connection() w_conn.connect() print # print a blank line here to signify that the bot has finished starting up try: watcher.main(w_conn, f_conn) except: traceback.print_exc() time.sleep(5) # sleep a bit before restarting watcher print "\nWatcher has stopped; restarting component..." def wiki_scheduler(): """Function to handle the wiki scheduler as another thread, or as the primary thread if the IRC frontend is not enabled.""" while 1: time_start = time.time() now = time.gmtime(time_start) task_manager.start_tasks(now) time_end = time.time() time_diff = time_start - time_end if time_diff < 60: # sleep until the next minute time.sleep(60 - time_diff) def irc_frontend(): """If the IRC frontend is enabled, make it run on our primary thread, and enable the wiki scheduler and IRC watcher on new threads if they are enabled.""" global f_conn print "\nStarting IRC frontend..." f_conn = frontend.get_connection() frontend.startup(f_conn) if enable_wiki_schedule: print "\nStarting wiki scheduler..." task_manager.load_tasks() t_scheduler = threading.Thread(target=wiki_scheduler) t_scheduler.name = "wiki-scheduler" t_scheduler.daemon = True t_scheduler.start() if enable_irc_watcher: t_watcher = threading.Thread(target=irc_watcher, args=(f_conn,)) t_watcher.name = "irc-watcher" t_watcher.daemon = True t_watcher.start() frontend.main() if enable_irc_watcher: w_conn.close() f_conn.close() def run(): if enable_irc_frontend: # make the frontend run on our primary thread if enabled, and enable additional components through that function irc_frontend() elif enable_wiki_schedule: # the scheduler is enabled - run it on the main thread, but also run the IRC watcher on another thread if it is enabled print "\nStarting wiki scheduler..." task_manager.load_tasks() if enable_irc_watcher: t_watcher = threading.Thread(target=irc_watcher, args=(f_conn,)) t_watcher.name = "irc-watcher" t_watcher.daemon = True t_watcher.start() wiki_scheduler() elif enable_irc_watcher: # the IRC watcher is our only enabled component, so run its function only and don't worry about anything else irc_watcher() else: # nothing is enabled! exit("\nNo bot parts are enabled; stopping...") if __name__ == "__main__": try: run() except KeyboardInterrupt: exit("\nKeyboardInterrupt: stopping main bot loop.")
