[Xmpppy-devel] what to read?

[gabor <ga...@z1...>]

hi,

i have been thinking about writing a very very very simple jabber client
in python...nothing serious, just for fun...

question:

what documents should i read about jabber?

i know there are 2 documents in the xmpppy distribution, but isn't there
a less formal one?

It already exists, I would say.  The jabberpy distribution has a 
"test_client" which is a very very very simple jabber client, written in 
python.  Knock yourself out if you want to write another one.

What to read?  Probably looking at the jabberpy code is as good a start 
as any.

xmpppy distribution includes one document: README.py. It is a simple script=
=20
that can connect to a server and nothing more.

CVS version contains also copies of xmpp-core and xmpp-im documents (probab=
ly=20
the "formal ones" that you are speaking about).

there are no good documentation about xmpppy usage AFAIK. I'm planning to=20
write it for 0.2 release.

In the meantime you can try reading some jabberpy-based scripts or even=20
xmpppy-based (CVS's irc-transport for example).

Also you can look into very simple rss-transport in the attachment (especia=
lly=20
at the lines 50,51,52,59,34 :)) ).
