Facts
There is no cross-platform IRC client written in Python (or at least I don't know any -- techtonik 2011年03月25日 02:38:43)
But it is easy to write one in Twisted (but I don't know how -- techtonik 2011年03月25日 02:38:43)
- But there is still no cross-platform support for console UI in Python
- If it could be possible to run Twisted inside Blender..
