I have a preliminary IRC application framework.  It has a working
Tkinter and curses interface, but it was designed for just about any
interface, including a bot.  The API is the based on the IRC command
set (not any one client) and the protocol.

The URL is http://www.shore.net/~arcege/python/Pyirc-1.5.tar.gz.  As,
I said it is preliminary so there isn't much (any) documentation.  But
it should give you some ideas.

And before you ask *wink*, no I didn't want just a single module.
There are too many features that a bot/client will want to make just a
"simple" module, IMO.
