It is a fork of +SleekXMPP. -SleekXMPP's design goals and philosphy are: - -**Low number of dependencies** - Installing and using SleekXMPP should be as simple as possible, without - having to deal with long dependency chains. - - As part of reducing the number of dependencies, some third party - modules are included with SleekXMPP in the ``thirdparty`` directory. - Imports from this module first try to import an existing installed - version before loading the packaged version, when possible. - -**Every XEP as a plugin** - Following Python's "batteries included" approach, the goal is to - provide support for all currently active XEPs (final and draft). Since - adding XEP support is done through easy to create plugins, the hope is - to also provide a solid base for implementing and creating experimental - XEPs. - -**Rewarding to work with** - As much as possible, SleekXMPP should allow things to "just work" using - sensible defaults and appropriate abstractions. XML can be ugly to work - with, but it doesn't have to be that way. - - -Get the Code ------------- - -Get the latest stable version from PyPI:: - - pip install sleekxmpp - -The latest source code for SleekXMPP may be found on `Github -<http://github.com/fritzy/SleekXMPP>`_.
