I understand "sigil" as referring to symbols occultists make up and use to
aid in their magick.

I think Python would be a great language to write an IRC client in, it's a
rapid-development language, and also Python is particularly good for text
manipulation and the IRC protocol is textual rather than binary. But, if
your only purpose for using Python is to reduce the memory footprint, I'm
not sure. I don't know specifically, but I'd guess Python has a higher
memory footprint than, say, C, because it's a high-level language. For
example, each variable has to be boxed, and also the interpreter has to be
loaded..

Regarding high ASCII, I don't know if that works in IRC, but either way,
ASCII isn't really enough nowadays. You need to support Unicode;
specifically, UTF-8.

Oh yeah, I forgot I was going to mention that Twisted has already done a
lot of the dirty work for you if you make it in Python...they have twisted.
words.protocols.irc, which implements the IRC protocol. (I don't know if
it's up to date and supports ircv3, though.)

Re: "Getting 'This app can’t run on your PC' (Access Denied) error when running Python or checking version in CMD on Windows 11"

[inhahe via Python-list]

I just recently found out that Windows 11 has an option to only allow apps
from the Microsoft store. I think it was an option I happened to see
somewhere. Maybe that option is set on your PC? If you've already installed
and run other non-Microsoft apps, maybe that option got changed recently by
accident? I don't know.
