Limnoria / Supybot plugin for MegaHAL to make your bot learn and speak

NOTE: I found a user who took my work and made it into a much better plugin. It's available at:

https://github.com/waratte/supybot/tree/master/Cobe

I highly suggest you use his. Mine will remain up here as archived code only. Do not expect updates.

Supybot-MegaHAL

Supybot plugin to make your bot talk. Think A.L.I.C.E. or MegaHal.

Warning/Disclaimer

I must warn you that with any plugin which makes a bot talk, you run a serious risk
of having the bot banned. Some people go *nuts* when bots talk not on command and
will ban/perm you and your bot. By default, I have the config registry variables
set to not talk very much, which can be changed. So, please, make sure that
you set each individual channel to be respectful of those who own it. Keep
the probability at 0 if you want the bot to never respond. Consider the code
in testing since something like this will always encounter bugs.

Description

What bot is complete without some type of plugin to make it talk?

Instructions

You need cobe: pip install cobe

Description of cobe: http://teichman.org/blog/2011/02/cobe.html

After running my tests with 10+ channels for 1 week, my corpus is about 18Mb. I've not implemented
a way to labotomize it just yet. I will have to see how it performs when the corpus hits 100MB+

After that, the requirements are satisfied and this should work fine on Python 2.7+

I suggest you check out the channel config variables to tweak things like probability and delay.
