I love when incredible form meets incredible function so I am going to have to go with:

• say hi by zeekay

IRC chat client in < 60 lines of code.

• He uses it instead of a resume and who doesn't love a curl

      try:    username = os.getlogin()
    except: username = "unknown"
  
    hostname = socket.gethostname()
    irc      = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
  
    if not sys.stdin.isatty():
        sys.stdin = open('/dev/tty')
  
    send = lambda s: irc.send(s.encode('UTF-8'))
  
    def hello():
        send('PRIVMSG zeekay :hello, i am from the internet!\r\n')
        sys.stdout.write('> ')
        sys.stdout.flush()
  
    def goodbye(*args):
        send('DISCONNECT')
        print('\nbye!')
        sys.exit(0)
  
    signal.signal(signal.SIGINT, goodbye)
  
    print('Hi {0}! Poking zk... (press CTRL-C to exit)'.format(username))
    irc.connect(('irc.freenode.net', 6667))
    send('NICK i_am_{0}\r\n'.format(username))
    send('USER {0} {1} irc.freenode.net :{0}\r\n'.format(username, hostname))
  
    while True:
        read, write, error = select.select([sys.stdin, irc], [], [], 0.01)
  
        for i in read:
            if i == sys.stdin:
                line = i.readline()
                if line.startswith('/'):
                    send(line[1:])
                send('PRIVMSG zeekay :{0}\r\n'.format(line))
                sys.stdout.write('> ')
                sys.stdout.flush()
  
            elif i == irc:
                buffer = i.recv(1024)
                for line in buffer.splitlines():
                    try:
                        _, info, line = line.decode('utf-8').split(':', 2)
                    except ValueError:
                        break
                    server, type = info.split(' ')[:2]
                    if type == 'PRIVMSG':
                        sys.stdout.write('\x08' * 2)
                        sys.stdout.write('< {0}\n> '.format(line))
                        sys.stdout.flush()
                    elif line.startswith('This server was created'):
                        hello()
                    else:
                        print(line)'
