asif allows you to write an IRC bot that listens to commands in a Flask-like manner. Commands are functions, registered to the framework via decorators. Writing long-running background processes is possible because the whole framework is based on asyncio, just use asyncio.ensure_future on your function as usual.
Requires Python 3.6 for the async/await syntax.

A simple ping/pong command. Replies to your !ping messages
