    Python Jabber client?

    Is there such a thing as a general purpose Python Jabber client? I'm
    imagining one that uses tkinter.

    A little Googling finds a couple of Jabber protocol libraries written
    in Python, a few half-finished projects, and a client for the Sharp
    Zaurus, but I didn't spot any simple portable ones that are finished
    and ready to use.

    If there's more than one, does anyone have a favorite?

    Thanks.

      Based on Twisted. Will probably be included in Twisted at some point in
      the future. Twisted already has a jabber protocol implementation inside
      it but it's very simple (and for example doesn't support SASL).

          Hi Paul,

          take this one. http://xmpppy.sourceforge.net/ It is used inside gajim,
          my favorite jabber client. http://gajim.org/ It works like a charm.
          And I am also using xmpppy for some monitoring tools, that alert our
          admins.

          Best regards,
          Oliver

              Gajim is most advanced one, if you don't mind GUI. There are also few
              CLI XMPP/Jabber clients, but most of them is *x-limited.

              As for libs, there are 2 that are worth of attention: xmpp.py, which has
              very slow pace of advancement (most current version is available from
              Gajim svn repo, sigh!) and PyXMPP, which is very limited in usage due to
              use of libxml, which makes porting to Windows a real PITA. If you want a
              decent library, get the one from Gajim repo, it is not as standard
              compliant as PyXMPP (PyXMPP author is a JSF member), but is really and
              true cross platform.
