Hello Friends,
Do you think it is cool if you are able to handover the overhead of chatting
with friends to an Artificial intelligence program called Eliza .. For those
who don't know Eliza, it is a computer program by Joseph Weizenbaum which
simulates a therapist.
Now let's do that using Python. To use the Gchat which uses XMPP protocol, we
need to install a python module called xmpppy . It is available at
http://xmpppy.sourceforge.net/. The standard 'python setup.py install ' will
perform the installation of module for us .
This program has two files
1) eliza.py
2) eliza_googletalk.py
Now the eliza.py program which sends the chat string send by our friends to the
Eliza program and returns the reply of Eliza AI program.

import httplib
import urllib
#Function that POSTS the string to eliza website and formats the reply
# my_dialog is the string that we POST to the www-ai.ijs.si website
# obtains the reply from eliza scripts and prints it on the screen
def eliza(my_dialog):
params = urllib.urlencode({'Entry1': my_dialog})
headers = {"Content-type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded","Accept":
"text/plain"}
conn = httplib.HTTPConnection("www-ai.ijs.si")
conn.request("POST", "/eliza-cgi-bin/eliza_script", params, headers)
response = conn.getresponse()
data = response.read()
reply_from_eliza= str(data.split('</strong>')[2]).split('\n')[1]
return "%s\r\n" % (reply_from_eliza,)
conn.close()
# invoking the eliza function to test it's functionality in pythonic way
if __name__== '__main__':
str =eliza('I am maxin')
print str
############################################################
Now the main part of the program ... eliza_googletalk.py
##################################################################################
# You <-> Eliza Google chat program #
# What: #
# #
# This program will login as you in the google chat and will automagically
reply #
# to those who are 'thinking' that they are chatting with you using the eliza
#
# AI program. #
# How: #
# #
# The google chat handling/reply part is done using the xmpppy python module
#
# Chats from your friends will be passed to the eliza program and the resulting
#
# output will be returned back to your friends as though you have typed it.
#
# Who: #
# #
# Maxin B. John <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> This code is small and self explanatory #
# So I haven't added a single comment in this program. #

Run this program as
python eliza_googletalk.py
Now let your friends to be confused :)
