irc_config bug

[motbob]

Pierc does not handle irc passwords with colons properly. This came up as an issue when trying to access irc.twitch.tv, where the password is always "oauth:a_string". I fixed this by manually removing most of the colons in the config file (like the one in "server: irc.ircserver.net") and modifying the line "temp = line.replace(":", "").split()" in config.py so that colons were no longer stripped.

I think I speak with all of the intelligence and gravitas of a real project
lead when I say "I didn't even know pierc supported passwords" ;)

It's as easy as adding a line to the config file: "password: [password]". As long as the password doesn't have a colon!

Did you try quoting the value? Like:

password: "oauth:[password]"

Edit: just realized this probably won't work. Sorry.
