python module for a bot app

[sarah31]

Here is kind of a dumb question. I have a bot on my irc channle that i wrote a module for. I can get it loaded but the bot fails to execute the desired action.

the desired action is for one to type:

~troutslap <nick>

and the bot to respond:

***bot troutslaps <nick>

The bot is moobot 0.5 and is available from source forge. Below is the troutslap.py module:

"""troutslap.py-it's just stupid"""
from moobot_module import MooBotModule

class troutslap(MooBotModule):
        def __init__(self):
                self.regex = "^troutslap .+"

        def handler(self, **args):
                """it's just stupid"""
                import string
                who = string.join(args["text"].split(" ")[2:])
                text = "troutslaps " + who
                from irclib import Event
                target = args["channel"]
                if args["type"] == "privmsg":
                        from irclib import nm_to_n
                target=nm_to_n(args["source"])
                result = Event("action", "", target, [ text ])
                return result

any help would be most welcome, myself and the channel users eagerly await troutslap
