Description: Simple framework for creating IRC bots.
        
        Example
        ~~~~~~~
        
        init.py:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            from pyromancer.objects import Pyromancer
        
            p = Pyromancer('test.settings')
            p.run()
        
        test/settings.py:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            host = '1.2.3.4'
            port = 6667
            nick = 'PyromancerBot'
            encoding = 'ISO-8859-1'
        
        Custom commands
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        Writing own commands is fairly simple. Create a folder which will be the
        package name, with a file named ``commands.py`` in it to hold the
        commands. In ``commands.py``, you can register functions to be a command
        with the built-in command decorator.
        
        Example
        ^^^^^^^
        
        File layout:
        
        ::
        
            test/
                __init__.py
                commands.py
                settings.py
            init.py
        
        commands.py:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            from pyromancer.decorators import command
        
        
            @command(r'bye (.*)')
            def bye(match):
                return 'Bye {m[1]}!'
        
        On IRC:
        
        ::
        
            <User> !bye everyone
            <Bot> Bye everyone!
        
        Pyromancer scans automatically for functions decorated using the
        commands decorator, so all your commands in ``commands.py`` are used
        automatically.
        
        You can also create a directory named ``commands`` with submodules
        containing the commands. Just make sure that you import either the
        modules or all of the commands in the ``__init__.py`` file.
        
        The ``command`` decorator
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        
        You must apply this to a function to mark it as a command. It will be
        used when scanning for and collecting commands.
        
        Parameters
        ''''''''''
        
        -  ``patterns`` - a regular expression or a list of expressions. When a
           list is given, all patterns are attempted when matching the input,
           and only when all patterns in the list fail to match, the command is
           not executed.
        
           .. code:: python
        
               @command(['hi', 'hello'])
               def hi(match):
                   return 'Hello!'
        
        -  ``prefix`` - a boolean which defaults to ``True``. When true, the
           command pattern is only attempted to match when the message line
           starts with the prefix defined in the settings of the bot. This is
           useful for commands which are very bot-like (in contrary to commands
           which look and behave like natural language). Using a boolean and a
           setting allows the same command to be triggered in different ways,
           depending on the settings of the bot which installed the command
           package.
        
        -  ``raw`` - a boolean which defaults to ``False``. When true, the raw
           input line sent from the server is used for matching the pattern,
           instead of the message. Useful for matching lines which are not a
           message from an user, such as nick or topic changes.
        
        Messaging from a command
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        
        Messaging from inside the function which makes up the command is as easy
        as can be for simple use cases, but can be done in numerous ways for the
        more complex situations.
        
        Most of the times, arguments are passed to the ``Match.msg`` function,
        which applies formatting by default and provides some additional
        utilities. The most important of those is that when no target has been
        passed on as an argument, it will use either the channel or the user (in
        case of a PM) whose input line triggered the command to be executed as
        the target, effectively replying.
        
        Parameters
        ''''''''''
        
        -  ``message`` - the message to be send to the server. Formatting will
           be applied using any additional ``args`` and ``kwargs``, so you can
           apply the full power of the `Python Format
           Mini-Language <http://docs.python.org/3.3/library/string.html#format-string-syntax>`__
           on the message.
        
        -  ``args`` and ``kwargs`` - arguments to be passed on through the
           formatting which is applied on ``message``.
        
        Methods of messaging
        ''''''''''''''''''''
        
        -  Return a ``message``
        
           .. code:: python
        
               @command(r'bye (.*)')
               def bye(match):
                   return 'Bye {m[1]}!'
        
        -  Return a tuple of ``message`` and optional ``args`` and ``kwargs`` to
           be used when formatting ``message``. ``args`` can be both a list of
           arguments, or simply all the middle elements of the tuple.
        
           .. code:: python
        
               def gibberish(match):
                   return 'A = {}, B = {}, C = {c_char}', 'a', 'b', {'c_char': 'c'}
        
        -  Yield a ``message`` or a tuple of ``message`` and optional ``args``
           and ``kwargs``. Yielding can be done as much as you want, which is
           the easiest way of sending multiple messages from one command.
        
           .. code:: python
        
               @command(r'say (.*)')
               def say(match):
                   for part in match[1].split(', '):
                       yield 'Saying {}', part
        
        -  Return a list of ``message`` or a tuple of ``message`` and optional
           ``args`` and ``kwargs``.
        
           .. code:: python
        
               def hi(match):
                   return ['Hi', 'Hello']
        
        -  Use ``Match.msg``. This is the only way to benefit from the
           non-default functionalities provided by this function.
        
           .. code:: python
        
               def raw(match):
                   match.msg('Raw {} message {m[1]}', raw=True)
        
        Extra parameters for ``Match.msg``
        ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
        
        -  ``target`` - the target to send the message to. If not provided, it
           will attempt to use either the channel or user whose input line
           triggered the command, which effectively results in replying.
        
        -  ``raw`` - defaults to ``False``. When true, no formatting is applied
           on ``message``.
