[Xmpppy-devel] how to log out of a chat room?

[Bryan O. <bry...@gm...>]

I've got a simple client working that connects to a group chat. Now I
want to implement the ability to set the status to 'away' and/or log
out of the server.

My first attempts don't seem to work -- if I call the disconnect()
method on the client that works, but then I'm not able to reconnect.
This makes me wonder if there's a more proper way to leave a chatroom.

My initialization code looks like this:

    self.client = xmpp.Client(jid.getdomain(), debug=[])
    self.client.connect()
    self.client.auth(jid.getNode(), password)
    self.client.sendpresence("%s/%s" % (room, nick))

That all works great and I'm able to chat with people in the room.
What must I do to log out of that room (ie: set my status to 'away'),
yet be able to log back in later?

Thanks!
