============================================
PyXMPP -- Python Jabber/XMPPP implementation
============================================
Introduction
------------
PyXMPP is a Python XMPP (RFC 3920,3921) and Jabber
(http://www.jabber.org/protocol/) implementation. 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").
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
<http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0086.html>`__).
- legacy authentication ("digest" and "plain") (`JEP-0078
<http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0078.html>`__).
- component protocol (`JEP-0114 <http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0114.html>`__).
- Service Discovery (`JEP-0030 <http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0091.html>`__).
- vCards -- both Jabber "vcard-temp" and RFC 2426
- basic parts of the Multi-User Chat protocol (`JEP-0045
<http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0045.html>`__)
- delayed delivery timestamps (`JEP-0091 <http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0091.html>`__).
- Data Forms (`JEP-0004 <http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0004.html>`__).
- In-Band Registration (`JEP-0077 <http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0077.html>`__).
Requirements
------------
For PyXMPP you will need:
- `Python <http://www.python.org/>`__. PyXMPP was designed for Python 2.4,
2.3 should work too.
- `libxml2 <http://xmlsoft.org/>`__. 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 libxml2-2.6.21.
- `dnspython <http://www.dnspython.org/>`__.
PyXMPP 1.0 was tested with version 1.3.4.
- `M2Crypto <http://sandbox.rulemaker.net/ngps/m2/>`__ for TLS support. Tested
with M2Crypto-0.13/swig-1.3.21.
Installation
------------
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.

Download
--------
Latest releases of PyXMPP may be downloaded from `the files section of the project page
<http://jabberstudio.org/projects/pyxmpp/releases/>`__. There are also
some `SVN snapshots <http://pyxmpp.jabberstudio.org/snapshots/>`__ available.
