[Xmpppy-devel] Message Handler getting ignored

[Santhosh T. <san...@gm...>]

Hi,
I have a python xmpp bot with nearly 10000 users.
When the user count reached at this level, my messageHandler is not
getting invoked. Putting it in debug mode shows that PresenceHandler
is eating up all the loop cycles.

This is the relevant code snippets
class Bot:
    """ The main bot class. """

    def __init__(self, JID, Password):
        """ Create a new bot. Connect to the server and log in. """

        # connect...
        jid = xmpp.JID(JID)
        self.connection = xmpp.Client(jid.getDomain(), debug=[])
        [ ......]
        self.connection.RegisterHandler('presence',self.presenceHandler)
        self.connection.RegisterHandler('message',self.messageHandler)

   def loop(self):
        """ Do nothing except handling new xmpp stanzas. """
        try:
            while self.connection.Process(1):
                pass
        except KeyboardInterrupt:
            pass

    def presenceHandler(self, conn, presence):
        '''Auto authorizing chat invites'''
        if presence:
            if presence.getType() == 'subscribe':
                jabber_id = presence.getFrom().getStripped()
                self.connection.getRoster().Authorize(jabber_id)

bot = Bot(**options)
bot.loop()

If I am not registering a precence handler, my message handler is
always get invoked.
But If I enable both presence and message handlers, message handler is
not at all getting invoked. This problem was not there when the number
of users were less.
Is there anyway I can improve the performance by some way of
threading? or any other ways so that both handlers get invoked without
missing any messages?

Thanks in advance
