Are there any modules for IRC, that work with Python 3.1?

Even though it is not widely used yet, and the module you want to use
doesn't support it?  I assume you have installed Python 3.x manually
too (my Debian 'stable' is only at Python 2.5 at the moment -- it
probably takes lots of work to bring in Python 3 without losing
important packages).

Or you can ask the irclib maintainers if they have something. If not,
you can do the work for them, after you have convinced yourself it's
good enough (by starting to use it with Python 2.x).

I don't have any more substantial advice, sorry.

I would have thought (given the number of hackers who use it a lot)
there were lots of good IRC clients, but I don't use it myself, so ...
