ClientXMPP¶

class slixmpp.clientxmpp.ClientXMPP(jid, password, plugin_config=None, plugin_whitelist=None, escape_quotes=True, sasl_mech=None, lang='en', **kwargs)[source]¶

Slixmpp’s client class. (Use only for good, not for evil.)

Typical use pattern:

xmpp = ClientXMPP('user@server.tld/resource', 'password')
# ... Register plugins and event handlers ...
xmpp.connect()
xmpp.process(block=False) # block=True will block the current
                          # thread. By default, block=False

Parameters:	jid – The JID of the XMPP user account. password – The password for the XMPP user account. plugin_config – A dictionary of plugin configurations. plugin_whitelist – A list of approved plugins that will be loaded when calling register_plugins(). escape_quotes – Deprecated.

connect(address=(), use_ssl=False, force_starttls=True, disable_starttls=False)[source]¶

Connect to the XMPP server.

When no address is given, a SRV lookup for the server will be attempted. If that fails, the server user in the JID will be used.

Parameters:	address – A tuple containing the server’s host and port. force_starttls – Indicates that negotiation should be aborted if the server does not advertise support for STARTTLS. Defaults to True. disable_starttls – Disables TLS for the connection. Defaults to False. use_ssl – Indicates if the older SSL connection method should be used. Defaults to False.

del_roster_item(jid)[source]¶

Remove an item from the roster.

This is done by setting its subscription status to 'remove'.

Parameters:	jid – The JID of the item to remove.

get_roster(callback=None, timeout=None, timeout_callback=None)[source]¶

Request the roster from the server.

Parameters:	callback – Reference to a stream handler function. Will be executed when the roster is received.

register_feature(name, handler, restart=False, order=5000)[source]¶

Register a stream feature handler.

Parameters:	name – The name of the stream feature. handler – The function to execute if the feature is received. restart – Indicates if feature processing should halt with this feature. Defaults to False. order – The relative ordering in which the feature should be negotiated. Lower values will be attempted earlier when available.

update_roster(jid, **kwargs)[source]¶

Add or change a roster item.

Parameters:

jid – The JID of the entry to modify. name – The user’s nickname for this JID. subscription – The subscription status. May be one of 'to', 'from', 'both', or 'none'. If set to 'remove', the entry will be deleted. groups – The roster groups that contain this item. timeout – The length of time (in seconds) to wait for a response before continuing if blocking is used. Defaults to response_timeout. callback – Optional reference to a stream handler function. Will be executed when the roster is received. Implies block=False.
