============================================
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.
.. _PyXMPP2: https://github.com/Jajcus/pyxmpp2
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/>`__. Python 2.6 required.
- `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 libxml2-2.7.6.
- `dnspython <http://www.dnspython.org/>`__.
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.
