PyXMPP – Python Jabber/XMPP implementation

============================================

Introduction

------------

PyXMPP is a Python XMPP (RFC 3920,3921) implementation, including some of the

well-known extensions. It is based on libxml2 -- fast and fully-featured XML

parser.

PyXMPP provides most core features of the XMPP protocol and several JSF-defined

extensions. PyXMPP provides building blocks for creating Jabber clients and

components. Developer uses them to setup XMPP streams, handle incoming events

and create outgoing stanzas (XMPP "packets").

Please note: this project is becoming obsolete, as now `PyXMPP2`_

is being developed. PyXMPP2 is a modern rewrite of PyXMPP, using ElementTree

instead of libxml2.

Features

--------

- nearly complete XMPP Core (RFC 3920) protocol for client connections

  (includes SASL, TLS and Strinprep).

- mostly complete XMPP IM (RFC 3921) protocol (lacks privacy lists)

- XMPP error objects including translations to and from legacy codes for

  backward compatibility (`JEP-0086

  `__).

- legacy authentication ("digest" and "plain") (`JEP-0078

  `__). 

- component protocol (`JEP-0114 `__). 

- Service Discovery (`JEP-0030 `__).

- vCards -- both Jabber "vcard-temp" and RFC 2426

- basic parts of the Multi-User Chat protocol (`JEP-0045

  `__)

- delayed delivery timestamps (`JEP-0091 `__).

- Data Forms (`JEP-0004 `__).

- In-Band Registration (`JEP-0077 `__).

Requirements

------------

For PyXMPP you will need:

  - `Python `__. Python 2.6 required.

  - `libxml2 `__. Recent release (>=2.6.11) with python

    bindings is required. Additionally, all development files for libxml2 (usually in

    separate libxml2-devel package) are recommended for compilation of PyXMPP for best performance.

    PyXMPP 1.0 was tested with libxml2-2.7.6.

  - `dnspython `__. 

    PyXMPP 1.0 was tested with version 1.6.0.

Installation

------------

To make sure you have all the requirements listed above or to prepare limited

(without the binary extension) build of PyXMPP you may want to run::

	python configure.py

You may manually pick the limited or full build of PyXMPP by editing the build.cfg file.

To build the package just invoke::

	python setup.py build

To install it::

	python setup.py install

If you had some older version of PyXMPP it is better to uninstall it (delete

pyxmpp subdirectory os your site-packages directory) before installing this one

or things may not work correctly.

You may also try::

	make

and::

	make install

instead.
