Toxygen on Ubuntu and Windows

Windows was working but is not currently being tested. AV was working but is not currently being tested: we're unsure of handling the AV devices from the commandline. We need to get a working echobot that supports SOCKS5; we were working on one in https://git.plastiras.org/emdee/toxygen_wrapper

Forked

This hard-forked from the dead https://github.com/toxygen-project/toxygen next_gen branch.

See ToDo.md to the current ToDo list.

Wechat

You can have a weechat console so that you can have IRC and jabber in a window as well as Tox. There's a copy of qweechat in thirdparty/qweechat backported to PyQt5 and integrated into toxygen. Follow the normal instructions for adding a relay to weechat

/relay add ipv4.ssl.weechat 9001
/relay start ipv4.ssl.weechat

/relay add weechat 9000
/relay start weechat

and use the Plugins/Weechat Console to start weechat under Toxygen. Then use the File/Connect menu item of the Console to connect to weechat.

Weechat has a Jabber plugin to enable XMPP:

/python load jabber.el
/help jabber

so you can have Tox, IRC and XMPP in the same application!

Install

To install read the requirements.txt and look at the comments; there may be things that need installing by hand or decisions to be made on supported alternatives.

https://git.plastiras.org/emdee/toxygen_wrapper needs packaging on pypi as it is a dependency. Just download and install it from https://git.plastiras.org/emdee/toxygen_wrapper

This is being ported to Qt6 using qtpy https://github.com/spyder-ide/qtpy It should run on PyQt5, PyQt6 and may run on PySide2 and PySide6 - YMMV. You should be able to choose between them by setting the environment variable QT_API to one of: pyqt5 pyqt6 pyside2 pyside6.

To install it, look in the Makefile for the install target and type

make install

You should set the PIP_EXE_MSYS and PYTHON_EXE_MSYS variables and it does

	${PIP_EXE_MSYS} --python ${PYTHON_EXE_MSYS} install \
		--target ${PREFIX}/lib/python${PYTHON_MINOR}/site-packages/ \
		--upgrade .

and installs into PREFIX which is usually /usr/local

Up-to-date code is on https://git.plastiras.org/emdee/toxygen
