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.

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

@ 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”)

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

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” ) )

Can’t get it to work :(

Is there a better jabber lib for python?

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 :(
