Package xmpp

All features of xmpppy library contained within separate modules. At present there are modules: simplexml - XML handling routines protocol - jabber-objects (I.e. JID and different stanzas and sub-stanzas) handling routines. debug - Jacob Lundquist's debugging module. Very handy if you like colored debug. auth - Non-SASL and SASL stuff. You will need it to auth as a client or transport. transports - low level connection handling. TCP and TLS currently. HTTP support planned. roster - simple roster for use in clients. dispatcher - decision-making logic. Handles all hooks. The first who takes control over fresh stanzas. features - different stuff that didn't worths separating into modules browser - DISCO server framework. Allows to build dynamic disco tree. filetransfer - Currently contains only IBB stuff. Can be used for bot-to-bot transfers.

Most of the classes that is defined in all these modules is an ancestors of class PlugIn so they share a single set of methods allowing you to compile a featured XMPP client. For every instance of PlugIn class the 'owner' is the class in what the plug was plugged. While plugging in such instance usually sets some methods of owner to it's own ones for easy access. All session specific info stored either in instance of PlugIn or in owner's instance. This is considered unhandy and there are plans to port 'Session' class from xmppd.py project for storing all session-related info. Though if you are not accessing instances variables directly and use only methods for access all values you should not have any problems.
Submodules
  • auth: Provides library with all Non-SASL and SASL authentication mechanisms.
  • browser: Browser module provides DISCO server framework for your application.
  • client: Provides PlugIn class functionality to develop extentions for xmpppy.
  • debug
  • dispatcher: Main xmpppy mechanism.
  • features: This module contains variable stuff that is not worth splitting into separate modules.
  • filetransfer: This module contains IBB class that is the simple implementation of JEP-0047.
  • protocol: Protocol module contains tools that is needed for processing of xmpp-related data structures.
  • roster: Simple roster implementation.
  • simplexml: Simplexml module provides xmpppy library with all needed tools to handle XML nodes and XML streams.
  • transports: This module contains the low-level implementations of xmpppy connect methods or (in other words) transports for xmpp-stanzas.
