User:WindPower/RCNotify.py

About this script

This is a Python script that:

• Fetches the recent changes log every User:WindPower/Template:RCNotifyRefreshRate seconds
• Fetches the TF2 blog to look for updates
• Sends the results back to the IRC bot (#tfwiki on irc.freenode.net), and the bot notifies everyone in the channel about it.

Running this script

• First way: Download Python and run the script as is.
  • Download Python and install it if you haven't got it yet.
  • Copy the code in the Source section below, and save it in a text file. Give it a .py extension, preferably.
  • Open a command prompt or terminal window, and run Python with the script's path as argument.
    • On Windows: C:\Python26\python.exe C:\path\to\script.py
    • On Windows: Double-click the file
      • You can also rename it to .pyw and double-click it if you don't want the command prompt window to appear.
    • On Unix (Mac/Linux): python /path/to/script.pt
    • On Unix (Mac/Linux), you can also type simply /path/to/script.py if you set the executable bit on the script file beforehand (chmod +x /path/to/script.py).
• Second way (Windows only): Download the exe.
  • Coming soon if there is demand.
