I'm not sure if it goes against the rules, but here goes.
I've been learning python for a few weeks, and I've hit a road bump. There isn't anyone at my school who knows python or could help, and our library doesn't offer books on python.
I want to get started in making a chat bot, so I was wondering if anyone knows a site where I might go about finding the basic structure of a chat bot, so I could improve it myself?
Also, I think it might help to say that I learn better by doing than reading, but making an AI from scratch would be overwhelming.
Thanks in advance!

Here's a great article I know of that focuses on writing a IRC chatbot in Python: Writing an Markov-Chains IRC Bot with Twisted and Python.

The link was broken, and I'm not particularly talking about that sort of bot. Just one that could understand a few things the user inputs, then building it from there. I appreciate the reply, though.

Try looking up a chat bot called Iniaes, there are plenty ofvlinks from his site.

Whoops!

I've corrected the link now: Writing a Markov-Chains IRC Bot with Twisted and Python

It's simple enough that you could stop after the first paragraph and put in all of your chatter intelligence yourself.
