Official IRC channel for Python?

[js]

Howdy,

I was wondering if there's official IRC channel for Python.
I tried #python irc.freenode.net and irc.openproject.net with no luck.

Could you please give me some suggestions?

That has always worked for me.

Really? maybe I'm been blocked from it...
thanks.

Currently 479 users. Have you been blocked from many channels?

Maybe you need your nick name to be recognized. You need to register
your nickname somewhere.

Oh, interesting and annoying. I don't know if I've noticed that before.

Hallöchen!

I'd be nice if we could achieve some sort of network effect in
py****@conference.jabber.org. I don't want to start a Jabber v. IRC
debate here; I simply prefer it and maybe others do so, too.

Tschö,
Torsten.

The best way to achieve this may be to challenge the Twisted guys who
habitually hang out on Python to do it in under ten lines :-)

You can't join #python on freenode without identifying with nickserv

first.

Why is that?
I can join #perl, #php, #ruby, #mysql, #postgres without registration.
What advantage does it have? and the advantage really worth?

If #python were the developer's room, I'd say it's reasonable,
but that's not the case here.

The direct benefit is a probability of having less spam, and things
like that. Registering a nickname is pretty easy and don't bring you
problems, so I don't know why you wouldn't want to register one. The
benefit of registering your nickname is that other people won't be
able to use it to do something not so cool.

but that's not the case here.

Well, a lot of developers hang out there. Some are specifically python
developers and others works in other projects.

There is a rule of NO LOL there too, by the way. It is intended to be
a good channel for answering questions and getting good answers.

I don't remember ever seeing irc spam on freenode. I see it once in a
while on undernet. This is a non-problem.

I'm not just guessing, I know it happens and saw it happenning (even
on python that requires registration).

I saw bad guys on IRC a few days ago, but it was not a problem
because Ignore user function in IRC client makes his/her messages invisible.

BTW,who's the maintainer of the channel?
