[Pythoncard-users] added jabberChat sample

[Kevin A. <al...@se...>]

I've checked in the jabberChat sample I started earlier this month.

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/pythoncard/PythonCardPrototyp
e/samples/jabberChat/

My original post on jabberChat is at

The readme.txt is below.

I'm trying to clear some to do items off my plate, so I don't expect to work
on this sample much more any time soon. There is enough infrastructure in
the sample that some other motivated coder can whip it into shape to support
more features. I'll be happy to answer any questions on the code. Jabber
protocol and jabberpy questions should go to the jabberpy-devel mailing
list.

==========
This is a very simple Jabber client. I combined some of the capabilities of
the command-line jabberpy example client and the PythonCard chat sample. The
current version of jabberChat can only send and receive messages. It doesn't
implement the entire Jabber protocol, but it does use Queue so that there
isn't a conflict between the jabberpy callback handlers and the GUI event
loop. I'm checking this code in with hopes that someone else will make the
app more complete.

You'll need the jabberpy package.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/jabberpy

In particular, you'll want the latest versions of the jabber.py and
xmlstream.py files from cvs

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/jabberpy/jabberpy/

Those files should be placed somewhere on your PYTHONPATH.

If you don't already have one, you should get a more full-featured Jabber
client from

http://www.jabbercentral.org/clients/

so that you can setup your account, subscriptions, and test sending and
receiving messages. You should be able to use any Jabber server account, not
just jabber.org.
