Sopel Wolfram|Alpha plugin

Wolfram|Alpha plugin for Sopel IRC bot framework

Requirements

• Sopel 7.x
• wolframalpha 3.x

Installation

This package's full name is sopel-modules.wolfram and it is listed on PyPI under that identifier.

The only supported installation method is via pip:

pip install sopel-modules.wolfram

Use pip3 as appropriate for your Python environment.

Development versions can be installed from GitHub via pip also:

pip install git+https://github.com/dgw/sopel-wolfram.git@master

Note that pip does not keep track of packages obtained from sources outside of PyPI, so pip install --upgrade sopel-modules.wolfram will not work for GitHub installations. Instead, to upgrade to the latest code, do:

pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/dgw/sopel-wolfram.git@master

Configuration

Required

The Wolfram|Alpha API requires a key to be added in the bot’s config. Click the "Get an AppID" button at https://developer.wolframalpha.com/portal/myapps/ and add your new AppID to Sopel’s configuration file:

[wolfram]
app_id = yourappidgoeshere

Optional

• max_public: the number of lines over which results will be sent in NOTICE instead of to the channel (default: 10)
• units: measurement system displayed in results, either metric (the default) or nonmetric

Usage

<User> .wa 2+2
<Sopel> [W|A] 2+2 = 4

<User> .wa python language release date
<Sopel> [W|A] Python | date introduced = 1991

<User> .wa airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow
<Sopel> [W|A] estimated average cruising airspeed of an unladen European
        swallow = 25 mph  (miles per hour)(asked, but not answered, about a
        general swallow in the 1975 film Monty Python and the Holy Grail)

A Note About Reloading

Due to Python limitations, reloading a "packaged" Sopel plugin such as this one, might not actually reload all of the code. After updating sopel-wolfram, please restart the bot at your earliest convenience, rather than using Sopel's .reload function. The last tested version was: Sopel 7.0.0

Support

Help with installing or configuring the module is available by pinging either dgw or maxpowa in #sopel on freenode. dgw is also available in #Kaede on Rizon.

Bugs and feature requests can be submitted to the GitHub issue tracker, preferably after first bringing them up on IRC.
