Re: [Xmpppy-devel] How to get status of JID

[Frank L. <fr...@fr...>]

Hello Adrian,

Thanks for your reply. I followed the documentation and created the code 
required to use the "getStatus()" method. However, it seems that it 
returns "None" for most people who are online. I guess my goal here is 
to find a way to determine if someone is online before actually sending 
the message. Here is a sample of the code I created (This was just a 
test of the method to make sure I was using it correctly)

jid = xmpp.protocol.JID('jab...@do...')
cl = xmpp.Client(jid.getDomain(), debug=[])
con = cl.connect()
auth = cl.auth(jid.getNode(), 'password', resource=jid.getResource())
cl.sendInitPresence()
roster = cl.getRoster()
jids = roster.getItems()
for i in jids:
        print i
        print "Ask = %s" % roster.getAsk(i)
        print "Name = %s" % roster.getName(i)
        print "Group = %s" % roster.getGroups(i)
        print "Priority = %s" % roster.getPriority(i)
        print "Show = %s" % roster.getShow(i)
        print "Status = %s" % roster.getStatus(i)
        print "Sub = %s" % roster.getSubscription(i)
        print "Resources = %s" % roster.getResources(i)

Everything appears to be outputting correctly, but the status is almost 
always "None" unless someone has specifically set it in their client. 
There is no indication that a user is online or offline.

Thanks in advance!
