The new system is backward compatible and will load older style plugins.
The new plugin framework allows plugins to track their dependencies, and
will auto-enable plugins as needed.
Dependencies are tracked via a class-level set named `dependencies` in
each plugin.
Plugin names are no longer tightly coupled with the plugin class name,
Pso EP8 style class names may be used.
Disabling plugins is now allowed, but ensuring proper cleanup is left to
the plugin implementation.
The use of a `post_init()` method is no longer needed for new style
plugins, but plugins following the old style will still require a
`post_init()` method.
The post_init() system can only reliably handle a single layer
of dependencies between plugins, but PEP plugins with XEP-0115
exceed that limit and plugins can be post_init'ed out of order. To
resolve this, we will special case XEP-0115 to be post_init'ed
first until the new plugin system with dependency tracking is
stable.
Publishes, retractions, purges, and deletions now raise the events:
- pubsub_publish
- pubsub_retract
- pubsub_purge
- pubsub_delete
In addition, custom events may be raised based on the node that
generated the notification. For example:
xmpp['xep_0060'].map_node_event('http://jabber.org/protocol/tune',
'user_tune')
will allow for using the events:
- user_tune_publish
- user_tune_retract
- user_tune_purge
- user_tune_delete
Each state element must have its own stanza class now. A stanza class
with an empty name field causes errors in ElementTree, even though
it works fine with cElementTree.
This is inspired by the version from macdiesel and tomstrummer, but
their version was heavily linked with XEP-0096 and focused solely
on file transfer. This version is a more generic implementation.
As part of adding this feature:
- fixed bug in update_caps() not assigning verstrings
- fixed xep_0004 typo
- can now use None as a roster key which will map to boundjid.bare
- fixed using JID objects in disco node handlers
- fixed failing test related to get_roster
Several of these bugs I've fixed before, so I either didn't push them
earlier, or I clobbered something when merging. *shrug*
New plugin configuration options:
use_cache - Enable caching disco info results. Defaults to True
wrap_results - Always return disco results in an Iq stanza. Defaults
to False
Node handler changes:
Handlers now take four arguments: jid, node, ifrom, data
Most older style handlers will still work, depending on if they
raise a TypeError for incorrect number of arguments. Handlers that
used *args may not work.
New get_info options:
cached - Passing cached=True to get_info() will attempt to load
results from the cache. If nothing is found, a query
will be sent as normal. If set to False, the cache
will be skipped, even if it contains results.
New method:
supports() - Given a JID/node pair and a feature, return True
if the feature is supported, False if not, and
None if there was a timeout. By default, the search
will use the cache.
Updated the XML-RPC value conversion to correctly apply namespaces, and
fixed an error uncovered by the tests in the XML -> Python conversion of
dateTime values.
Only allowing handlers to return a DiscoInfo/DiscoItem stanza works
for the majority of cases, but does not allow for the addition of
an RSM stanza, or other extensions.
An Iq stanza returned by a handler must already be configured as
a reply.
The form plugin was being registered on first use for providers,
but not for clients receiving the form.
NOTE: Use of non-form payloads will have this issue - adhoc command
clients will need to have an expectation beforehand of what
the command payload will be to properly load stanza plugins.
Note that using % in a string will _always_ perform the sting substitutions, because the strings are constructed before the function is called. So log.debug('%s' % expensiveoperation()) will take about the same CPU time whether or not the logging level is DEBUG or INFO. if you use , no substitutions are performed unless the string is actually logged
Form fields now remember their current type if the type is deleted. This
allows for fields to properly format their values if set after the form
has been changed to the 'submit' type.
IqError is now caught and forwarded to the command error handler referenced
in the session.
Errors are now caught and processed by the session's error handler
whether or not the results Iq stanza includes the <command> substanza.
Added the option for blocking command calls. The blocking option is set
during start_command with block=True. Subsequent command flow methods use
session['block'] to determine their blocking behaviour.
If you use blocking commands, then you will need to wrap your command calls
in a try/except block for IqTimeout exceptions.
Changes:
May now use underscored method names
form.field is replaced by form['fields']
form.get_fields no longer accepts use_dict parameter, it always
returns an OrderedDict now
form.set_fields will accept either an OrderedDict, or a list
of (var, dict) tuples as before.
Setting the form type to 'submit' will remove extra meta data
from the form fields, leaving just the 'var' and 'value'
Setting the form type to 'cancel' will remove all fields.
Honestly, this is mainly just a demo/proof of concept that we
can handle dependencies and ordering issues with stream features.
DON'T use XEP-0078 if you are able to use the normal SASL method,
which should be the case unless you are dealing with a very old
XMPP server implementation.
Thus, using the XEP-0082 and XEP-0202 introduces a dependency
on the dateutil package (installable using pip install python-dateutil).
Maybe we'll be able to rework how these plugins work to avoid
needing dateutil, but for now this will have to do.
Accepting download requests can be done using:
self['xep_0066'].register_url_handler(handler=self.oob_download)
# Add jid=... to specify a handler for a particular JID for a
# componenent.
def oob_download(self, iq):
if iq['from'] not in self.custom_oob_whitelist:
raise XMPPError('not-authorized')
try:
data = urllib2.urlopen(iq['oob_transfer']['url'])
file = open('oob_download', 'w+')
file.write(data.read())
file.close()
data.close()
except:
raise XMPPError('item-not-found')
For now, session_end is the same as disconnected, but once support is
added later for stream management, the two events will become distinct.
Plugins should add handlers for session_end for cleaning any session
state.
Backward incompatibility alert!
Please see examples/adhoc_provider.py for how to use the new
plugin implementation, or the test examples in the files
tests/test_stream_xep_0050.py and tests/test_stanza_xep_0050.py.
Major changes:
- May now have zero-step commands. Useful if a command is
intended to be a dynamic status report that doesn't
require any user input.
- May use payloads other than data forms, such as a
completely custom stanza type.
- May include multiple payload items, such as multiple
data forms, or a form and a custom stanza type.
- Includes a command user API for calling adhoc commands
on remote agents and managing the workflow.
- Added support for note elements.
Todo:
- Add prev action support.
You may use register_plugin('old_0050') to continue using the
previous XEP-0050 implementation.
We need to check if type="get". otherwise we will send our version
when we will receive the version of the remote entity, and thus
going in an infinite loop.
Can now be used as so:
>>> msg['chat_state']
''
>>> msg
<message />
>>> msg['chat_state'] = 'paused'
>>> msg
<message>
<paused xmlns="http://jabber.org/protocol/chatstates" />
</message>
>>> msg['chat_state']
'paused'
>>> del msg['chat_state']
>>> msg
<message />
Use stanza.values instead of _get/set_stanza_values where used.
ElementBase stanzas can now use .tag
May use class method tag_name() for stanza classes.
ElementBase now has .clear() method.
