title: Willie python irc bot - getting list of nicknames on a channel
body: <p>I have a problem regarding the Willie (  <a href="http://willie.dftba.net/" rel="nofollow">http://willie.dftba.net/</a>) Python irc bot.</p>
  
  <p>I want to execute irc command "/names"</p>
  
  <p>on the irc server, and then read the reply. With other words, I basically want to get the nicknames which are currently present on a irc channel. It should be some way to do this from within the Willie bot. If anyone has done this please reply.</p>
  
  <p>What I've done so far:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Googled the problem</li>
  <li>Went through all of the stuff (all of the wiki) on github</li>
  <li>Went through (since i'm using it) the official Python documentation for Willie.</li>
  <li>Written an email to the original creator of the Willie bot. (but no avail..)</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>If someone has any idea I would really appreciate it.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you and best regards,</p>
  
  <p>Satoshi</p>
