You have to pass a reference to 'mainirc' to either 'somestuff' or 'test'. e.g.

class somestuff:
    def __init__(self, ircClient):
        self.ircClient = ircClient
    def test(self):
        self.ircClient.msg('foo')

class mainirc(irc.IRCClient):
...
    def connectionMade(self):
        irc.IRCClient.connectionMade(self)
        self.bot = somestuff(self)


Constructing a new instance of 'mainirc' won't work, because the new
instance won't be associated with a connection.

hope this helps,
