Programming Jabber

Python

The Python examples have been written with Python 2.0.

Jabberpy is the name of the Python Jabber library used in the Python recipes in this book. As with Perl’s Net::Jabber library set, Jabberpy provides its feature set from two separate libraries—jabber, which provides connectivity, authorization, and callback functions such as Net::Jabber and Jabber::Connection, and xmlstream, which provides the basic connectivity and parsing functions such as Net::Jabber’s companion XML::Stream.

The Jabberpy libraries are available from its project site, at http://sourceforge.net/projects/jabberpy.

The version of Jabberpy used in this book is 0.2.
