IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat and you need to search Google if you want to know more about it. Here is some information related to IRC and Python.

Python IRC Channels

Are mostly on freenode IRC network:

Facts

• There is no cross-platform IRC client written in Python (or at least I don't know any -- techtonik 2011-03-25 02:38:43)

  • But it is easy to write one in Twisted (but I don't know how -- techtonik 2011-03-25 02:38:43)

  • But there is still no cross-platform support for console UI in Python
  • If it could be possible to run Twisted inside Blender..
