Not yet. Once it's been thoroughly tested I'll get try to get one of my friends to host it on his website.

It doesn't matter what you use to send or receive data. I've actually tried to connect to a couple online IRC chat servers with this chat client and received some kind of data from them. Since some people don't have twisted, I decided to only use it for the server, and use Python's builtin socket module. That way the only extra dependency is Pygame for the client. (Since I plan to have the server hosted on the web eventually, you won't need to run the server!) Hope that explains it. Thanks for the great rating!

how does it work that the server needs twisted bu the client doesn't??

Whoops! Bad link is fixed.

Aye, that it is! Alot less bugs, and the server is stable (now uses twisted). Also the GUI doesn't suck up 50% like it did in PyChat. I am re-coding the GUI so I will eventually just dump Tk and use a pygame only GUI. But for now, Tk works well enough. :-) I may eventually get the server hosted online and add rooms. Enjoy!
