   GTalk doesn’t support SIP yet. See the GTalk developer info page

   On yes, it’s Jabber + InDoor_Not_Public_Yet_P2P_VOIP, you’re right.. But anyways, I guess not a lot of people will use this VOIP provider right now.

   Interesting.

   Is it this easy to write a spimbot for GTalk?

   The most complete XMPP/Jabber library currently in the wild is PyXMPP (http://pyxmpp.jabberstudio.org/). Unfortunately, it is currently supported only on linux platform, though some work is underway to port it to Windows.

   Perhaps it’s time to merge no ? 3 modules w/ quite the same API..

   As usual in Python world, divide to loose :(

   dev of xmpppy does have time/interest to maintain it anymore. Hopefully someone else will go to apply our (as in Gajim) patches as eventhough we were asking him to do so when we were commiting he thought our patches were something like testing for his stable (!) xmpppy..

   apart from PyXMPP there is also xmpp in twisted but it lives in 2000

   Nice … very useful little snippet.  Thanks!

   in fact, he wants to maintain the library but he doesn’t have the time and he hopes he sometime later or someone else will apply our patches to cvs. he doesn’t plan to release anytime soon neither unfortunately.

   Hello. I’m the maintainer of xmpppy library. I was out for holidays so probably feeled quite unresponsive.
   I’ll patch this bug.
   What for words of Nikos – I have never said about stopping maintaing library. Last 6 months I had not wrote any new code but was regularly fixing bugs and intending to do that in future.

    J’en pense rien
    C’est juste un test

    Better example code might have been something that works. Your code errors with:
    
      File “/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/xmpp/auth.py”, line 139, in FeaturesHandler
    
        sasl_data=’%sx00%sx00%s’%(self.username+’@'+self._owner.Server,self.username,self.password)
    
    AttributeError: SASL instance has no attribute ‘username’

    Indeed, xmpppy appears so riddled with bugs, none of its “sample” scripts work either. I can see why the dev abandoned it. After several minutes trying to fix its bugs, I quickly discovered a having root-canal would be more fun. Please developers, ensure your code from CVS works before releasing it.

    Two years old. Still very useful :)

    Can’t get it to work :(

    Is there a better jabber lib for python?

14. # Paul Pasikaon 31 Mar 2009 at 7:53 pm

    How can I use this to get my domain (domain.com for the sake of security) hosted at google gtalk account working? I’ve tried to no avail –

    import xmpp

    login = ‘user@domain.com’ # @gmail.com
    pwd = ‘password’

    cnx = xmpp.Client(’domain.com’)
    cnx.connect( server=(’talk.google.com’,5223) )
    cnx.auth(login,pwd, ‘botty’)

    cnx.send( xmpp.Message( “paul@domain.com” ,”Hello World form Python” ) )

15. # K-4Uon 15 Apr 2009 at 5:31 pm

    @ Paul Pasika:
    Try this:
    import xmpp
    login = ‘user’ #no @ domain.com
    pwd = ‘pass’

    connection = xmpp.Client(’Domain.com’)
    connection.connect(server=(’talk.google.com’,5222))
    connection.auth(login,pwd,”Bot”)

    Hi,

    Nice example. I’m getting duplicate messages on my Motorola Droid when I use this method. I’m not sure whether it is the Android Gtalk Client or this method or some interaction of the two. When I send messages using xmpppy they are not duplicated in the Windows Gtalk Window. Messages are not duplicated when they are not sent with xmpppy. Just wondering if anyone had any idea what was going on. This is my first interaction with xmpp.

    Thanks,
    Roger

    I’ve discovered that when no resource identifier is provided for the sender, I receive double message with the Android client. When I use the resource identifier of my phone, which I obtained with Pidgin, I receive single posts as I should. So that is a work around if anyone stumbles on to the same problem.

    For some reason this code didn’t work for me – this one did the trick:
