A stanza object may add is_extension = True to its class definition
to provide a single new interface to a parent stanza.
For example:
import sleekxmpp
from sleekxmpp import Iq
from sleekxmpp.xmlstream import ElementBase, register_stanza_plugin, ET
class Foo(ElementBase):
"""
Test adding just an attribute to a parent stanza.
Adding subelements works as expected.
"""
is_extension = True
interfaces = set(('foo',))
plugin_attrib = 'foo'
def setup(self, xml):
# Don't include an XML element in the parent stanza
# since we're adding just an attribute.
# If adding a regular subelement, no need to do this.
self.xml = ET.Element('')
def set_foo(self, val):
self.parent()._set_attr('foo', val)
def get_foo(self):
return self.parent()._get_attr('foo')
def del_foo(self):
self.parent()._del_attr('foo')
register_stanza_plugin(Iq, Foo)
i1 = Iq()
i2 = Iq(xml=ET.fromstring("<iq xmlns='jabber:client' foo='bar' />"))
>>> i1['foo'] = '3'
>>> i1
'3'
>>> i1
'<iq id="0" foo="3" />'
>>> i2
'<iq id="0" foo="bar" />'
>>> i2['foo']
'bar'
>>> del i2['foo']
>>> i2
'<iq id="0" />'
Support is only for adding literal XML content
to stanzas. Full support for things like multiple
message bodies with different xml:lang values is
still in the works.
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.
_setSubText can now handle elements specified by an XPath expression, and
will build up the element tree as needed, reusing an existing elements in
the path.
The sleekxmpp.xmlstream.tostring and sleekxmpp.xmlstream.tostring26 packages
have been merged to sleekxmpp.xmlstream.tostring. The __init__.py file will
import the appropriate tostring function depending on the Python version.
The setup.py file has been updated with the package changes.
ElementBase is now a direct descendent of object and does not subclass ToString.
Stanza objects now return their XML contents for __repr__.
