Python XMPP Server

An XMPP Server written in Python. Examples are available here.

Prerequisites

The XMPP server is using on tornado, lxml, and python-sasl. Before you can install it, make sure you have these prerequisites installed. To install the tornado and lxml:

sudo easy_install setuptools pycurl==7.16.2.1 simplejson lxml
sudo easy_install -f http://www.tornadoweb.org/ tornado

Since lxml and pycurl have C dependencies, it may be simpler to use a package management system if it's available for your OS. Using MacPorts, for example:

sudo port install py26-setuptools py26-curl py26-simplejson py26-lxml
sudo easy_install -f http://www.tornadoweb.org/ tornado

To install python-sasl:

git git://github.com/thisismedium/python-sasl.git
cd python-sasl
python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install

Download and Install

To check out and install python-xmpp-server:

git clone git://github.com/thisismedium/python-xmpp-server.git
cd python-xmpp-server
python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install

Test your setup by running an example:

python examples/ping-pong.py

Hacking

If you are going to hack on python-xmpp-server, you can use python setup.py develop instead of python setup.py install to create an egg-link to the git repository.
