Nice work!

Thanks! c: I'll make a more complex one when I have more knowledge of Python.

I guess that'll make me want to join codeacademy more as well. 

Well, I'm learning Python there.

Their Python Labs thingy doesn't like my bot, it gives an indentation error for line 6, which there clearly isn't! >

Works awesome. But not as good as my Scratch chatbot Julia 

Thanks. I might reprogram that in Python... 

This isn't that hard: I made a learning chatbot in Scratch as my first uploaded project.

Nice. This is great for a start. The explaining is kind of annoying though.

You might be able to give it memory by making it write to a .txt file, or by using Pickle(A python module.

Thanks. What explaining are you talking about, exactly? 

Sorry. The "Oops, I don't know what that means."

I made something almost exactly like this in Scratch, except it took up 3 times more space! LOL

I was planning on putting a file on my server and putting it's words there so that everybody can teach it, but of course, Python can't r/w files on the web.

known = {}
chatmem = open("http://gravi.tation.tk/chat.dat", "r")
check = chatmem.readlines()
for i in check:
    templ = []
    cont = ""
    for j in i:
        if j != "|":
            cont += j
        else:
            templ.append(cont)
            cont = ""
    templ.append(cont)
    known[templ[0]] = templ[1]
chatmem.close()
history = []
print "Chatbot ready. Please type something."
while True:
    ginputd = raw_input()
    temp = ""
    for i in ginputd:
        if i != "," and i != "." and i != "!" and i != "?":
            temp = temp + str(i).lower()
    if temp == "show known" or temp == "show history":
        if temp == "show known":
            print ""
            print "    Known:"
            for i in known:
                print "        Reply to \"" + i + "\": \"" + known[i] + "\""
            print ""
        elif temp == "show history":
            print ""
            print "    History:"
            for i in history:
                print "        " + i
            print ""
    else:
        history.append("User: " + ginputd)
        ginputd = False
        for i in known:
            if temp.endswith(i):
                ginputd = i
        if ginputd != False:
            print known[ginputd]
            history.append("Chatbot: " + known[ginputd])
        else:
            print "Whoops, I don't understand that! What would be the appropriate reply?"
            appr = raw_input()
            known = {}
            chatmem = open("http://gravi.tation.tk/chat.dat", "r")
            check = chatmem.readlines()

                    else:

            chatmem = open(http://gravi.tation.tk/chat.dat, "w")
            chatmem.write(temp + "|" + appr)
            chatmem.close()
            known[temp] = appr
            history.append("Unknown reply, user gives \"" + appr + "\" as correct output.")
            print "Thanks, I understand now."

Can somebody help me out? I don't have any experience in server stuff, so idiot-proof please 

Forgive my n00bness.

Try urllib.
Also, you can write to files online with Python but you'll either need to put your FTP info in the script (not exactly the best thing to do  ) or you can submit data via a url and let Python and PHP work hand in hand 

PHP, thought so. Problem is I don't know PHP.    I've only been doing this for a week. 
I'll check it out. Thanks!

Okay, PHP isn't too hard but it is a little weird at times.
Here is basically what the code would look like (it may need to be edited  ):

Code:

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<?php
$chatFile = fopen("chat.txt", "w");
fwrite($chatFile, $_GET['word'].':'. $_GET['reply']); //$_GET gets data from url, I'm using : to separate
//the two variables, and reply and word are all taken from the url. 
fclose($chatFile);
</body>
</html>

Not sure if that's entirely correct, if not I don't doubt that sci or pf will change it for me 
Anyway, the URL should look like this "gravi.tation.php?word=Hello&reply=Hey,%20what's%20up?"

Ah, okay. Thanks! You're a great programmer.

What code do I put in my Python program?
