Hexchat: hex chat doesn't wait to be identified before joining a channel

on freenode, i have soe channels that are +r and part of my autojoin. Those channels always fail to join on startup since the identification takes a little while.

hex chat should probably wait to be identified before trying to join.

someone told me that xchat had a setting for this but i didn't verified.

i created myself a small plugin:

import hexchat
import threading

__module_name__ = "keepjoin"
__module_version__ = "1.0"
__module_description__ = "keeping you in the channels that you want to stay in"


def keepjoin():
    isInProgrammeur = False
    for chan in hexchat.get_list('channels'):
        attrs = vars(chan)
        #print ', '.join("%s: %s" % item for item in attrs.items())
        #print chan.channel
        if chan.channel == "#programmeur":
            isInProgrammeur = True
    if isInProgrammeur == False:
        hexchat.command("join #programmeur")


myhook = None

def stop_cb(word, word_eol, userdata):
        global myhook
        if myhook is not None:
                hexchat.unhook(myhook)
                myhook = None
                print("Timeout removed!")

def timeout_cb(userdata):
        #print("Annoying message every 5 seconds! Type /STOP to stop it.")
    keepjoin()
        return 1 # Keep the timeout going

myhook = hexchat.hook_timer(5000, timeout_cb)
hexchat.hook_command("STOP", stop_cb)
