+irssi-python (Python 2.x scripting support for irssi)
+
+irssi-python embeds Python into an Irssi module, providing most of the
+functionality of the Perl wrapper to Python scripts using a similar
+interface.
+
+After the package is installed, you can test it from within irssi
+by running "/load python". If this works OK, you can configure irssi
+to always load the module with a command like:
+
+$ echo 'load python' >> ~/.irssi/startup
+
+Beware of upgrades: if Slackware's irssi or python packages are ever
+upgraded, you'll almost certainly have to rebuild & reinstall this.
+Symptoms may include irssi ABI version mismatch errors or segfaults.
+
+If you get a warning about an irssi version mismatch when building
+irssi-python, first update your irssi package to the latest one in
+patches/:
+
+# slackpkg update
+# slackpkg upgrade irssi
+
+If you still get the warning, set the environment variable IRSSI_VER
+to the correct irssi version. You'll also have to have the irssi source
+tarball in the SlackBuild directory. It should be available from:
+
