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')
