Slixmpp is an :ref:`MIT licensed <license>` XMPP library for Python 2.6/3.1+,
and is featured in examples in
`XMPP: The Definitive Guide <http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596521271>`_
by Kevin Smith, Remko Tronçon, and Peter Saint-Andre. If you've arrived
here from reading the Definitive Guide, please see the notes on updating
the examples to the latest version of Slixmpp.
Slixmpp's design goals and philosphy are:
**Low number of dependencies**
Installing and using Slixmpp should be as simple as possible, without
having to deal with long dependency chains.
As part of reducing the number of dependencies, some third party
modules are included with Slixmpp in the ``thirdparty`` directory.
Imports from this module first try to import an existing installed
version before loading the packaged version, when possible.
**Every XEP as a plugin**
Following Python's "batteries included" approach, the goal is to
provide support for all currently active XEPs (final and draft). Since
adding XEP support is done through easy to create plugins, the hope is
to also provide a solid base for implementing and creating experimental
XEPs.
**Rewarding to work with**
As much as possible, Slixmpp should allow things to "just work" using
sensible defaults and appropriate abstractions. XML can be ugly to work
with, but it doesn't have to be that way.
Here's your first Slixmpp Bot:
--------------------------------
.. code-block:: python
import logging
from slixmpp import ClientXMPP
from slixmpp.exceptions import IqError, IqTimeout
class EchoBot(ClientXMPP):
def __init__(self, jid, password):
ClientXMPP.__init__(self, jid, password)
self.add_event_handler("session_start", self.session_start)
self.add_event_handler("message", self.message)
# If you wanted more functionality, here's how to register plugins:
# self.register_plugin('xep_0030') # Service Discovery
# self.register_plugin('xep_0199') # XMPP Ping
# Here's how to access plugins once you've registered them:
# self['xep_0030'].add_feature('echo_demo')
# If you are working with an OpenFire server, you will
# need to use a different SSL version:
# import ssl
# self.ssl_version = ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv3
def session_start(self, event):
self.send_presence()
self.get_roster()
# Most get_*/set_* methods from plugins use Iq stanzas, which
# can generate IqError and IqTimeout exceptions
#
# try:
# self.get_roster()
# except IqError as err:
# logging.error('There was an error getting the roster')
# logging.error(err.iq['error']['condition'])
# self.disconnect()
# except IqTimeout:
# logging.error('Server is taking too long to respond')
# self.disconnect()
def message(self, msg):
if msg['type'] in ('chat', 'normal'):
msg.reply("Thanks for sending\n%(body)s" % msg).send()
if __name__ == '__main__':
# Ideally use optparse or argparse to get JID,
# password, and log level.
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG,
format='%(levelname)-8s %(message)s')
xmpp = EchoBot('somejid@example.com', 'use_getpass')
xmpp.connect()
xmpp.process(block=True)
