Python Instant Messenger Example

[Evan McPeters]

Does anyone have an example of a simple Instant Messenger program written in
Python?

I have some code for a simple server and simple client communicating over
TCP/IP, so I could always combine both of those into each IM client, but
perhaps there is a better way.

Thank you.

I haven't personally used any of them, but
you might want to review:

This is experimental library, geared towards compatibility with newest
jabberd implementations.

This one is legacy and unmantained code, although works good.

There is one more XMPP/Jabber client library, PyXMPP
http://www.jabberstudio.org/projects/pyxmpp/. As author is Jabber
Software Foundation member, you can expect this one to be "reference
implementation".
