Sounds good. Would you be willing to put together a pull request?

I would be happy to help, but I don't have the time to be able to design and implement this feature from scratch.

Let's start from the beginning; can you document what sort of user experience you'd like to see from the library? For example, if the feature were implemented how would you propose that twitch solicit the tags from the ServerConnection? Would tags be associated with any Event?

nothing fancy, just tags inside event

i would use it like this

def on_pubmsg(self, connection, event):
    logging.info(event.tags)

tags will be just dict

Would tags be associated with any Event?

if there are tags, event will have tags inside, otherwise just None

but as i said, i already use them via on_all_raw_messages, so this issue is just a proposal, nothing else
