Documentation:

https://xmpppy.sourceforge.net/

Source Code:

https://github.com/xmpppy/xmpppy

Installation

Using pip, you can install the package with:

pip install --upgrade xmpppy

Usage

As a library

Regularly, the module is used as a library, like:

import xmpp

jabberid = "[e-mail]"
password = "secret"
receiver = "[e-mail]"
message  = "hello world"

def main():
    jid = xmpp.protocol.JID(jabberid)
    connection = xmpp.Client(server=jid.getDomain(), debug=True)
    connection.connect()
    connection.auth(user=jid.getNode(), password=password, resource=jid.getResource())
    connection.send(xmpp.protocol.Message(to=receiver, body=message))

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Command line interface

The package also installs a command line program called xmpp-message. Its synopsis is:

xmpp-message --debug \
    --jabberid [e-mail] --password secret \
    --receiver [e-mail] --message 'hello world'

You can also put your credentials into an ~/.xsend file, like:

JID=[e-mail]
PASSWORD=secret

and then invoke xmpp-message omitting the --jabberid and --password options, like:

xmpp-message --receiver [e-mail] --message 'hello world'
