Since camelcase names are aliased to the underscored name at startup,
if the underscored version is replaced later, the camelCase name does
not reflect the change.
Instead of the actual callback object, return just the name of
the callback object created when using iq.send(callback=..).
This will help prevent memory leaks by not keeping an additional
reference to the object, but still allows for the callback to be
canceled by using self.remove_handler("handler_name").
This allows exceptions to include the original
content of a stanza in the error response by including
the parameter clear=False when raising the exception.
The callback will be a stream level handler, and will not
execute in its own thread. If you must have a thread, have the
callback function raise a custom event, which can be processed
by another event handler, which may run in an individual thread,
like so:
def handle_reply(self, iq):
self.event('custom_event', iq)
def do_long_operation_in_thread(self, iq):
...
self.add_event_handler('custom_event', self.do_long_operation_in_thread)
...take out already prepared iq stanza...
iq.send(callback=self.handle_reply)
Stanza objects now accept the use of underscored names.
The CamelCase versions are still available for backwards compatibility,
but are discouraged.
The property stanza.values now maps to the old getStanzaValues and
setStanzaValues, in addition to _set_stanza_values and
_get_stanza_values.
* added stanza.keys()
* stanza.getValues() now return substanzas and plugins
* stanza.setValues() now can read substanzas and plugins
* stanzas can now be iterable if stanza.subitem is set to a class
* added stanza unhandled (unhandled iqs now reply with feature-not-implemented)
* added stanza exceptions (stanzas may now reply with exceptions when their handler raises an exception)
