sopel-rainbow

A Sopel plugin to make things RAINBOW COLORED.

Installing

Releases are hosted on PyPI, so after installing Sopel, all you need is pip:

$ pip install sopel-rainbow

Configuring

The easiest way to configure sopel-rainbow is via Sopel's configuration wizard—simply run sopel-plugins configure rainbow and enter the values for which it prompts you.

order setting

By default, sopel-rainbow outputs colors in the "standard" rainbow order, ROYGBIV, subject to receiving clients' use of the customary meanings for IRC color codes 0-15. If set explicitly in your Sopel config file, this default value would look like:

[rainbow]
order =
    4
    7
    8
    3
    12
    2
    6

If you want to get creative (or cater to a community with shared color norms that differ from the "de facto" values established by mIRC and friends) override the order with your own list of numeric codes:

[rainbow]
order = # Americans and French can fight over this one
    4
    0
    2

random_start setting

Starting the rainbow at the beginning of the order every time is also default behavior. If you want the rainbow to start at a random place every time instead, set the Boolean option random_start to yes or on:

[rainbow]
random_start = on

Dependencies

• Sopel version 7.1 or higher
• Python 3.8 or higher

Sopel 7.x should still run on Python 2.7 or older Python 3 releases, but it's not maintained any more; and neither is this plugin tested on anything older.
