'Pretty Twitch' library

This library allows you to identify any Twitch IRC server response and format it to your liking!

Installing

pip install prettytwitch

Recieving pretty responses

Beforehand: Grab your OAuth token here: https://twitchapps.com/tmi/

from prettytwitch import Response  # importing library

import socket
from time import sleep

NICK = 'Your username'
PASS = 'your twitch OAuth token'
CHAN = '#channel_name'

RATE = (20/30)  # Rate per socket established by Twitch

s = socket.socket()
s.connect(('irc.chat.twitch.tv', 6667))
s.send("CAP REQ :twitch.tv/commands\r\n".encode())  # Next too lines allows you to recieve more data with your
s.send("CAP REQ :twitch.tv/tags\r\n".encode())      # client; you can find more info at dev.twitch.tv
s.send("PASS {}\r\n".format(PASS).encode("utf-8"))
s.send("NICK {}\r\n".format(NICK).encode("utf-8"))
s.send("JOIN {}\r\n".format(CHAN).encode("utf-8"))

# Getting the information and correctly (line by line) sending it to the library to "pretify"
# Reason for this mess is that because of the ratelimit we can get certain data in chunks,
# and sometimes those chunks might not be complete, example gratia:
# ThisIsLine1\r\nThisIsLine2\r\nThisIsLi

leftovers = ''
while True:
    raw_responses = s.recv(1024).decode("utf-8")

    if leftovers != '':
        raw_responses = leftovers + raw_responses
        leftovers = ''

    responses = [r+'\r\n' for r in raw_responses.strip().split('\r\n') if r]
    if not raw_responses.endswith('\r\n'):
        leftovers = responses[-1][:-2]
        responses = responses[:-1]

    for response in responses:
        # print(response)
        print(Response(response))

    sleep(1 / RATE)
