sockets and classes

[TheDustbustr]

I did not include the code to read from the socket in my post to make the code
more readable, but it was there.  And it was recieving data, i accidently had
deleted the 'print data' statement :P

New problem:  I get the following error:
     if arg[0] == 'privmsg':
TypeError: unsubscriptable object
Whats that supposed to mean?

Hres all the code i have, about 100 lines.  Its not commented very well at all
cause I'm in a rush- post if comments are needed for you to understand what I'm
doing.

Thanks, Dustin
