PyXMPP

PyXMPP is a Jabber/XMPP implementation for Python.

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").

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.
