Yeah, definitely get to know the protocol or get a library. You cannot
depend on a single socket read representing a single message. You'll
need to properly parse the incoming stream; otherwise, you'll run into
other problems, like "my messages don't work if two of them come in at
the same time". There are IRC libraries on PyPI.
