irclog2html.py

This is an improved port of irclog2html.pl Perl script to Python. I was looking for a nice IRC log colorizer, and I liked the output of irclog2html.pl best. It had some shortcomings that I wanted to fix, and since Perl code is not exactly easy to maintain, I ported the script to Python, refactored, and added some enhancements.

Features

• XHTML & CSS output
• Unique, automatic nick colours (preserved across nick changes)
• URL highlighting
• Bookmarkable timestamps for each line
• Navigation links between daily log files

Output Examples

• #schooltool
• #zope3-dev
