PyIRCBot is designed to run on Python 3.6+, and is usually tested with 3.6.
Python 2.x and older versions of 3.x are not supported.

Although **no** non-core modules are needed to run PyIRCBot in it's most basic
form, not all features and modules will be available.

The following non-core Python modules are needed, and easily available through
Pip for python 3:

 - praw
 - pytz
 - PyYAML (yaml)
 - requests

The following modules aren't available on pip, and are sourced from various
places. They are NOT required but certain modules won't be available without
them.

 - **bitcoinrpc** - https://github.com/jgarzik/python-bitcoinrpc
 - **pymysql** - https://github.com/dpedu/MySQL-for-Python-3 (needs \
   libmysqlclient-dev on your system)
- **pymsgbus** - http://gitlab.davepedu.com/dave/pymsgbus

At time of writing there is a bug that will prevent the bitcoinrpc module from
working with Python 3. When  pull `#55`_ is merged, the bug will be fixed.
Until then, using my `fork`_ is recommended.
