  For a bit of inspiration you might take a look
  at Supybot which is a Python-based irc bot ....

    http://supybot.com

  It's designed to run from your local machine
  and connect to a remote irc server .... 

  I ran it from home 24/7 with virtually no problems at all
  for several months from a very modest and old Compaq box 
  running Debian Gnu/Linux Sarge which connected via aDSL ....

  A brief description from the Debian package manager ....

    robust and user friendly Python IRC bot Supybot 
    is a robust (it doesn't crash), user friendly 
    (it's easy to configure) and programmer friendly 
    (plugins are *extremely* easy to write) Python IRC bot.
    It aims to be an adequate replacement for most existing 
    IRC bots. It includes a very flexible and powerful ACL  
    system for controlling access to commands, as well as 
    more than 50 builtin plugins providing around 400 actual 
    commands.
