xmpppy: the XMPP python project

### about xmpppy is a Python library that is targeted to provide easy scripting with XMPP. Similar projects are Twisted Words and jabber.py. This library was not designed from scratch. It inherits some code from jabberpy and have very similar API in many places. Though it is separate project since it have almost completely different architecture and primarily aims to work with jabberd2 - the new Open Source XMPP Server. xmpppy is distributed under the terms of GNU General Public License and can be freely redistributed without any charge. ### documentation Documentation is now in the process of heavy development and not yet finished but most critical docs exist - please feel free to ask any questions if you will find the docs incomplete (see support section below). Basic documentation - a simple script. Advanced documentation - architecture of library and guidelines. Expert documentation - API docs. ### examples For these who prefer reading samples of code than digging through [incomplete] docs - here they are. Simple (but working) examples of xmpppy usage. xmpp-message Command-line utility for sending XMPP messages xtalk.py Command-line utility for chatting with a single user bot.py Xmpppy bot framework, handles messages commandsbot.py Xmpppy bot framework, handles ad hoc commands logger.py Simple conference logger bot You can also look to at the IRC transport, Mail transport, Yahoo transport or xmppd project code if you wish to see the serious library usage. ### download You can look for released versions on downloads page or alternatively you can grab the latest version directly from CVS tree by typing the following commands: cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@xmpppy.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/xmpppy login (hit "enter" when you will be prompted for password) cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@xmpppy.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/xmpppy co xmpppy You can also browse xmpppy (and several xmpppy-based projects) CVS online here. If you have an RSS feed reader, there is an RSS feed of CVS commits here. ### support If you have any questions about using xmpppy you can join xmpppy-devel maillist. Here you can always find the best support, as you can find the developers here. ### donations If you are willing to help you can consult this article for how to do it. Thanks! If you want to donate some money to encourage me to continue work on library (it helps, really!) you can do it via e-gold system (account 1552795) or via bank transfer (contact me via XMPP or email to get the details). ### author Alexey Nezhdanov Russian, born 18 Nov 1976.
