jira irc bot

im working on jira irc bot. This bot is for work on foresight[,-devel} channel on freenode.

The objective is interactive with jira website without visit it.

The first step is maked. Make a page for suggest, wishlist and commands request.

My plans is build a python lib for interactive first with jira and then work on the bot. The bot can based on some excelents libs like irc-lib and a repository of python bots.

Now im doing a small script for do a shorts url. Im pick http://te.tl because is smaller than http://tinyurl.com and it not used alot. So it give us a very small url.

I haved code small cli for make url on te.tl

import urllib
import re
import sys

def makeurl( url ):
    params = urllib.urlencode({'url':url,'title':''})
    f = urllib.urlopen("http://te.tl/index.php",params)
    response = f.read()
    pattern = re.compile('<h1>.*</h1>')
    m = pattern.search(response)
    if m:
        html=  m.group()
    else:
        return "Error: %s" %response
    return html.replace('<h1>','').replace('</h1>','')
print makeurl(sys.argv[1])
