Help with Python plugin for a bot.

By Protheus on Dec 14, 2016

Ok, so i'm slowly learning Python, and i'm trying to create a plugin for a bot that prints "Baby don't hurt me." in a channel whenever anyone types "What is love?". The thing is, i want it to ignore case and punctuation, so if a user types just "what is love" i'd like it to trigger the bot's response also. I have no. fucking. clue how to do this. Any help would be appreciated.

from cloudbot import hook

@hook.regex(r"^What is love?(!|\?|\.)?$")
def what_hook(match):
    return "Baby don't hurt me."

#!/usr/bin/env python

import re

message = "WhaT iS lOvE"

pattern = re.compile(r"What is love(!|\?|\.)?$",re.IGNORECASE)
print re.match(pattern,message) 
# re.match does not require ^

pattern = re.compile(r"^What is love(!|\?|\.)?$",re.IGNORECASE)
print re.search(pattern,message)
