Hi, I started writing an IRC client.

import socket
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)

s.connect(('irc.freenode.net', 6667))
while 'No Ident' not in repr(s.recv(1024)):
    pass

s.send(b'NICK pyIRC')
s.send(b'USER pyIRC 8 *  : pyIRC')
while 'MODE pyIRC' not in repr(s.recv(1024)):
    pass

print(repr(s.recv(1024)))

make it event based
add plugin architecture
congratulations, now you have written yet another framework...

now, what are you going to do with it that hasn't been done to death already?
