sleekxmpp 1.0beta6.1

SleekXMPP is an XMPP library written for Python 3.1+ (with 2.6 compatibility).

Hosted at http://wiki.github.com/fritzy/SleekXMPP/



Featured in examples in XMPP: The Definitive Guide by Kevin Smith, Remko Tronçon, and Peter Saint-Andre

If you're coming here from The Definitive Guide, please read http://wiki.github.com/fritzy/SleekXMPP/xmpp-the-definitive-guide



Requirements:

We try to keep requirements to a minimum, but we suggest that you install http://dnspython.org although it isn't strictly required.

If you do not install this library, you may need to specify the server/port for services that use SRV records (like GTalk).

"sudo pip install dnspython" on a *nix system with pip installed.



SleekXMPP has several design goals/philosophies:

- Low number of dependencies.

- Every XEP as a plugin.

- Rewarding to work with.



The goals for 1.0 include (and we're getting close):

- Nearly Full test coverage of stanzas.

- Wide range of functional tests.

- Stanza objects for all interaction with the stream

- Documentation on using and extending SleekXMPP.

- Complete documentation on all implemented stanza objects

- Documentation on all examples used in XMPP: The Definitive Guide



1.1 will include:

- More functional and unit tests

- PEP-8 compliance

- XEP-225 support



Since 0.2, here's the Changelog:

- MANY bugfixes

- Re-implementation of handlers/threading to greatly simplify and remove bugs (no more spawning threads in handlers)

- Stanza objects for jabber:client and all implemented XEPs

- Raising XMPPError for jabber:client and extended errors in handlers

- Robust error handling and better insurance of iq responses

- Stanza objects have made life a lot easier!

- Massive audit/cleanup.
