+=================================
+Create and Run a Server Component
+=================================
+
+.. note::
+    
+    If you have any issues working through this quickstart guide
+    or the other tutorials here, please either send a message to the
+    `mailing list <http://groups.google.com/group/sleekxmpp-discussion>`_
+    or join the chat room at `sleek@conference.jabber.org
+    <xmpp:sleek@conference.jabber.org?join>`_.
+
+If you have not yet installed SleekXMPP, do so now by either checking out a version
+from `Github <http://github.com/fritzy/SleekXMPP>`_, or installing it using ``pip``
+or ``easy_install``.

+
+
+Many XMPP applications eventually graduate to requiring to run as a server 
+component in order to meet scalability requirements. To demonstrate how to 
+turn an XMPP client bot into a component, we'll turn the echobot example
+(:ref:`echobot`) into a component version.
+
+The first difference is that we will add an additional import statement:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from sleekxmpp.componentxmpp import ComponentXMPP
+
+Likewise, we will change the bot's class definition to match:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    class EchoComponent(ComponentXMPP):
+
+        def __init__(self, jid, secret, server, port):
+            ComponentXMPP.__init__(self, jid, secret, server, port)
+
+A component instance requires two extra parameters compared to a client
+instance: ``server`` and ``port``. These specifiy the name and port of
+the XMPP server that will be accepting the component. For example, for
+a MUC component, the following could be used:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    muc = ComponentXMPP('muc.sleekxmpp.com', '******', 'sleekxmpp.com', 5555)
+
+.. note::
+
+    The ``server`` value is **NOT** derived from the provided JID for the
+    component, unlike with client connections.
+
+One difference with the component version is that we do not have
+to handle the :term:`session_start` event if we don't wish to deal
+with presence.
+
+The other, main difference with components is that the
+``'from'`` value for every stanza must be explicitly set, since
+components may send stanzas from multiple JIDs. To do so,
+the :meth:`~sleekxmpp.basexmpp.BaseXMPP.send_message()` and
+:meth:`~sleekxmpp.basexmpp.BaseXMPP.send_presence()` accept the parameters
+``mfrom`` and ``pfrom``, respectively. For any method that uses
+:class:`~sleekxmpp.stanza.iq.Iq` stanzas, ``ifrom`` may be used.

+===============================
+SleekXMPP Quickstart - Echo Bot
+===============================
+
+.. note::
+    
+    If you have any issues working through this quickstart guide
+    or the other tutorials here, please either send a message to the
+    `mailing list <http://groups.google.com/group/sleekxmpp-discussion>`_

+
+    pip install sleekxmpp  # Or: easy_install sleekxmpp
+
+
+As a basic starting project, we will create an echo bot which will reply to any
+messages sent to it. We will also go through adding some basic command line configuration
+for enabling or disabling debug log outputs and setting the username and password
+for the bot.
+
+For the command line options processing, we will use the built-in ``optparse``
+module and the ``getpass`` module for reading in passwords.
+
+TL;DR Just Give Me the Code
+---------------------------
+As you wish: :ref:`the completed example <echobot_complete>`.
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+To get started, here is a brief outline of the structure that the final project will have:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    #!/usr/bin/env python
+    # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
+
+    import sys
+    import logging
+    import getpass
+    from optparse import OptionParser
+
+    import sleekxmpp
+
+    '''Here we will create out echo bot class'''
+
+    if __name__ == '__main__':
+        '''Here we will configure and read command line options'''
+
+        '''Here we will instantiate our echo bot'''
+
+        '''Finally, we connect the bot and start listening for messages'''
+
+Default Encoding
+----------------
+XMPP requires support for UTF-8 and so SleekXMPP must use UTF-8 as well. In
+Python3 this is simple because Unicode is the default string type. For Python2.6+
+the situation is not as easy because standard strings are simply byte arrays and
+use ASCII. We can get Python to use UTF-8 as the default encoding by including:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    if sys.version_info < (3, 0):
+        reload(sys)
+        sys.setdefaultencoding('utf8')
+
+.. warning::
+
+    Until we are able to ensure that SleekXMPP will always use Unicode in Python2.6+, this
+    may cause issues embedding SleekXMPP into other applications which assume ASCII encoding.
+
+Creating the EchoBot Class
+--------------------------
+
+There are three main types of entities within XMPP — servers, components, and
+clients. Since our echo bot will only be responding to a few people, and won't need
+to remember thousands of users, we will use a client connection. A client connection
+is the same type that you use with your standard IM client such as Pidgin or Psi.
+
+SleekXMPP comes with a :class:`ClientXMPP <sleekxmpp.clientxmpp.ClientXMPP>` class
+which we can extend to add our message echoing feature. :class:`ClientXMPP <sleekxmpp.clientxmpp.ClientXMPP>`
+requires the parameters ``jid`` and ``password``, so we will let our ``EchoBot`` class accept those
+as well.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    class EchoBot(sleekxmpp.ClientXMPP):
+        
+        def __init__(self, jid, password):
+            super(EchoBot, self).__init__(jid, password)
+
+Handling Session Start
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The XMPP spec requires clients to broadcast its presence and retrieve its roster (buddy list) once
+it connects and establishes a session with the XMPP server. Until these two tasks are completed,
+some servers may not deliver or send messages or presence notifications to the client. So we now
+need to be sure that we retrieve our roster and send an initial presence once the session has 
+started. To do that, we will register an event handler for the :term:`session_start` event.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+     def __init__(self, jid, password):
+        super(EchoBot, self).__init__(jid, password)
+
+        self.add_event_handler('session_start', self.start)
+
+
+Since we want the method ``self.start`` to execute when the :term:`session_start` event is triggered,
+we also need to define the ``self.start`` handler.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    def start(self, event):
+        self.send_presence()
+        self.get_roster()
+
+.. warning::
+
+    Not sending an initial presence and retrieving the roster when using a client instance can
+    prevent your program from receiving presence notifications or messages depending on the
+    XMPP server you have chosen.
+
+Our event handler, like every event handler, accepts a single parameter which typically is the stanza
+that was received that caused the event. In this case, ``event`` will just be an empty dictionary since
+there is no associated data.
+
+Our first task of sending an initial presence is done using :meth:`send_presence <sleekxmpp.basexmpp.BaseXMPP.send_presence>`.
+Calling :meth:`send_presence <sleekxmpp.basexmpp.BaseXMPP.send_presence>` without any arguments will send the simplest
+stanza allowed in XMPP:
+
+.. code-block:: xml
+
+    <presence />
+
+
+The second requirement is fulfilled using :meth:`get_roster <sleekxmpp.clientxmpp.ClientXMPP.get_roster>`, which
+will send an IQ stanza requesting the roster to the server and then wait for the response. You may be wondering
+what :meth:`get_roster <sleekxmpp.clientxmpp.ClientXMPP.get_roster>` returns since we are not saving any return
+value. The roster data is saved by an internal handler to ``self.roster``, and in the case of a :class:`ClientXMPP
+<sleekxmpp.clientxmpp.ClientXMPP>` instance to ``self.client_roster``. (The difference between ``self.roster`` and
+``self.client_roster`` is that ``self.roster`` supports storing roster information for multiple JIDs, which is useful
+for components, whereas ``self.client_roster`` stores roster data for just the client's JID.)
+
+It is possible for a timeout to occur while waiting for the server to respond, which can happen if the
+network is excessively slow or the server is no longer responding. In that case, an :class:`IQTimeout
+<sleekxmpp.exceptions.IQTimeout>` is raised. Similarly, an :class:`IQError <sleekxmpp.exceptions.IQError>` exception can
+be raised if the request contained bad data or requested the roster for the wrong user. In either case, you can wrap the
+``get_roster()`` call in a ``try``/``except`` block to retry the roster retrieval process.
+
+The XMPP stanzas from the roster retrieval process could look like this:
+
+.. code-block:: xml
+
+    <iq type="get">
+      <query xmlns="jabber:iq:roster" />
+    </iq>
+
+    <iq type="result" to="echobot@example.com" from="example.com">
+      <query xmlns="jabber:iq:roster">
+        <item jid="friend@example.com" subscription="both" />
+      </query>
+    </iq>
+
+Responding to Messages
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Now that an ``EchoBot`` instance handles :term:`session_start`, we can begin receiving and
+responding to messages. Now we can register a handler for the :term:`message` event that is raised
+whenever a messsage is received.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+     def __init__(self, jid, password):
+        super(EchoBot, self).__init__(jid, password)
+
+        self.add_event_handler('session_start', self.start)
+        self.add_event_handler('message', self.message)
+
+
+The :term:`message` event is fired whenever a ``<message />`` stanza is received, including for
+group chat messages, errors, etc. Properly responding to messages thus requires checking the
+``'type'`` interface of the message :term:`stanza object`. For responding to only messages
+addressed to our bot (and not from a chat room), we check that the type is either ``normal``
+or ``chat``. (Other potential types are ``error``, ``headline``, and ``groupchat``.)
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    def message(self, msg):
+        if msg['type'] in ('normal', 'chat'):
+            msg.reply("Thanks for sending:\n%s" % msg['body']).send()
+
+Let's take a closer look at the ``.reply()`` method used above. For message stanzas,
+``.reply()`` accepts the parameter ``body`` (also as the first positional argument),
+which is then used as the value of the ``<body />`` element of the message. 
+Setting the appropriate ``to`` JID is also handled by ``.reply()``.
+
+Another way to have sent the reply message would be to use :meth:`send_message <sleekxmpp.basexmpp.BaseXMPP.send_message>`,
+which is a convenience method for generating and sending a message based on the values passed to it. If we were to use
+this method, the above code would look as so:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    def message(self, msg):
+        if msg['type'] in ('normal', 'chat'):
+            self.send_message(mto=msg['from'],
+                              mbody='Thanks for sending:\n%s' % msg['body'])
+
+Whichever method you choose to use, the results in action will look like this:
+
+.. code-block:: xml
+
+    <message to="echobot@example.com" from="someuser@example.net" type="chat">
+      <body>Hej!</body>
+    </message>
+
+    <message to="someuser@example.net" type="chat">
+      <body>Thanks for sending:
+      Hej!</body>
+    </message>
+
+.. note::
+    XMPP does not require stanzas sent by a client to include a ``from`` attribute, and
+    leaves that responsibility to the XMPP server. However, if a sent stanza does
+    include a ``from`` attribute, it must match the full JID of the client or some
+    servers will reject it. SleekXMPP thus leaves out the ``from`` attribute when replying
+    using a client connection.
+
+Command Line Arguments and Logging
+----------------------------------
+
+While this isn't part of SleekXMPP itself, we do want our echo bot program to be able
+to accept a JID and password from the command line instead of hard coding them. We will
+use the ``optparse`` module for this, though there are several alternative methods, including
+the newer ``argparse`` module.
+
+We want to accept three parameters: the JID for the echo bot, its password, and a flag for
+displaying the debugging logs. We also want these to be optional parameters, since passing
+a password directly through the command line can be a security risk. 
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    if __name__ == '__main__':
+        optp = OptionParser()
+
+        optp.add_option('-d', '--debug', help='set logging to DEBUG',
+                        action='store_const', dest='loglevel',
+                        const=logging.DEBUG, default=logging.INFO)
+        optp.add_option("-j", "--jid", dest="jid",
+                        help="JID to use")
+        optp.add_option("-p", "--password", dest="password",
+                        help="password to use")
+
+        opts, args = optp.parse_args()
+
+        if opts.jid is None:
+            opts.jid = raw_input("Username: ")
+        if opts.password is None:
+            opts.password = getpass.getpass("Password: ")
+
+Since we included a flag for enabling debugging logs, we need to configure the
+``logging`` module to behave accordingly.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    if __name__ == '__main__':
+
+        # .. option parsing from above ..
+
+        logging.basicConfig(level=opts.loglevel,
+                            format='%(levelname)-8s %(message)s')
+
+
+Connecting to the Server and Processing
+---------------------------------------
+There are three steps remaining until our echo bot is complete:
+    1. We need to instantiate the bot.
+    2. The bot needs to connect to an XMPP server.
+    3. We have to instruct the bot to start running and processing messages.
+
+Creating the bot is straightforward, but we can also perform some configuration
+at this stage. For example, let's say we want our bot to support `service discovery
+<http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0030.html>`_ and `pings <http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0199.html>`_:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    if __name__ == '__main__':
+
+        # .. option parsing and logging steps from above
+
+        xmpp = EchoBot(opts.jid, opts.password)
+        xmpp.register_plugin('xep_0030') # Service Discovery
+        xmpp.register_plugin('xep_0199') # Ping
+
+If the ``EchoBot`` class had a hard dependency on a plugin, we could register that plugin in
+the ``EchoBot.__init__`` method instead.
+
+.. note::
+
+    If you are using the OpenFire server, you will need to include an additional 
+    configuration step. OpenFire supports a different version of SSL than what
+    most servers and SleekXMPP support.
+
+    .. code-block:: python
+    
+        import ssl
+        xmpp.ssl_version = ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv3
+
+Now we're ready to connect and begin echoing messages. If you have the package
+``dnspython`` installed, then the :meth:`sleekxmpp.clientxmpp.ClientXMPP` method
+will perform a DNS query to find the appropriate server to connect to for the
+given JID. If you do not have ``dnspython``, then SleekXMPP will attempt to 
+connect to the hostname used by the JID, unless an address tuple is supplied
+to :meth:`sleekxmpp.clientxmpp.ClientXMPP`. 
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    if __name__ == '__main__':
+
+        # .. option parsing & echo bot configuration
+
+        if xmpp.connect():
+            xmpp.process(block=True)
+        else:
+            print('Unable to connect')
+
+.. note::
+
+    For Google Talk users withouth ``dnspython`` installed, the above code
+    should look like:
+
+    .. code-block:: python
+
+        if __name__ == '__main__':
+
+            # .. option parsing & echo bot configuration
+
+            if xmpp.connect(('talk.google.com', 5222)):
+                xmpp.process(block=True)
+            else:
+                print('Unable to connect')
+
+To begin responding to messages, you'll see we called :meth:`sleekxmpp.basexmpp.BaseXMPP.process`
+which will start the event handling, send queue, and XML reader threads. It will also call
+the :meth:`sleekxmpp.plugins.base.base_plugin.post_init` method on all registered plugins. By
+passing ``block=True`` to :meth:`sleekxmpp.basexmpp.BaseXMPP.process` we are running the 
+main processing loop in the main thread of execution. The :meth:`sleekxmpp.basexmpp.BaseXMPP.process`
+call will not return until after SleekXMPP disconnects. If you need to run the client in the background
+for another program, use ``block=False`` to spawn the processing loop in its own thread.
+
+.. note:: 
+
+    Before 1.0, controlling the blocking behaviour of :meth:`sleekxmpp.basexmpp.BaseXMPP.process` was
+    done via the ``threaded`` argument. This arrangement was a source of confusion because some users
+    interpreted that as controlling whether or not SleekXMPP used threads at all, instead of how
+    the processing loop itself was spawned.
+
+    The statements ``xmpp.process(threaded=False)`` and ``xmpp.process(block=True)`` are equivalent.
+
+
+.. _echobot_complete:
+
+The Final Product
+-----------------
+
+Here then is what the final result should look like after working through the guide above. The code
+can also be found in the SleekXMPP `examples directory <http://github.com/fritzy/SleekXMPP/tree/master/examples>`_.
+
+.. compound::
+
+    You can run the code using:
+
+    .. code-block:: sh
+
+        python echobot.py -d -j echobot@example.com
+
+    which will prompt for the password and then begin echoing messages. To test, open
+    your regular IM client and start a chat with the echo bot. Messages you send to it should
+    be mirrored back to you. Be careful if you are using the same JID for the echo bot that
+    you also have logged in with another IM client. Messages could be routed to your IM client instead
+    of the bot.

+Send/Receive IQ Stanzas
+=======================
+
+Unlike :class:`~sleekxmpp.stanza.message.Message` and
+:class:`~sleekxmpp.stanza.presence.Presence` stanzas which only use
+text data for basic usage, :class:`~sleekxmpp.stanza.iq.Iq` stanzas
+require using XML payloads, and generally entail creating a new
+SleekXMPP plugin to provide the necessary convenience methods to
+make working with them easier.
+
+Basic Use
+---------
+
+XMPP's use of :class:`~sleekxmpp.stanza.iq.Iq` stanzas is built around
+namespaced ``<query />`` elements. For clients, just sending the
+empty ``<query />`` element will suffice for retrieving information. For
+example, a very basic implementation of service discovery would just
+need to be able to send:
+
+.. code-block:: xml
+
+    <iq to="user@example.com" type="get" id="1">
+      <query xmlns="http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#info" />
+    </iq>
+
+Creating Iq Stanzas
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+SleekXMPP provides built-in support for creating basic :class:`~sleekxmpp.stanza.iq.Iq`
+stanzas this way. The relevant methods are:
+
+* :meth:`~sleekxmpp.basexmpp.BaseXMPP.make_iq`
+* :meth:`~sleekxmpp.basexmpp.BaseXMPP.make_iq_get`
+* :meth:`~sleekxmpp.basexmpp.BaseXMPP.make_iq_set`
+* :meth:`~sleekxmpp.basexmpp.BaseXMPP.make_iq_result`
+* :meth:`~sleekxmpp.basexmpp.BaseXMPP.make_iq_error`
+* :meth:`~sleekxmpp.basexmpp.BaseXMPP.make_iq_query`
+
+These methods all follow the same pattern: create or modify an existing 
+:class:`~sleekxmpp.stanza.iq.Iq` stanza, set the ``'type'`` value based
+on the method name, and finally add a ``<query />`` element with the given
+namespace. For example, to produce the query above, you would use:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    self.make_iq_get(queryxmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#info',
+                     ito='user@example.com')
+
+
+Sending Iq Stanzas
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Once an :class:`~sleekxmpp.stanza.iq.Iq` stanza is created, sending it
+over the wire is done using its :meth:`~sleekxmpp.stanza.iq.Iq.send()`
+method, like any other stanza object. However, there are a few extra
+options to control how to wait for the query's response.
+
+These options are:
+
+* ``block``: The default behaviour is that :meth:`~sleekxmpp.stanza.iq.Iq.send()`
+  will block until a response is received and the response stanza will be the
+  return value. Setting ``block`` to ``False`` will cause the call to return
+  immediately. In which case, you will need to arrange some way to capture
+  the response stanza if you need it.
+
+* ``timeout``: When using the blocking behaviour, the call will eventually
+  timeout with an error. The default timeout is 30 seconds, but this may
+  be overidden two ways. To change the timeout globally, set:
+
+    .. code-block:: python
+
+        self.response_timeout = 10
+
+  To change the timeout for a single call, the ``timeout`` parameter works:
+
+    .. code-block:: python
+        
+        iq.send(timeout=60)
+
+* ``callback``: When not using a blocking call, using the ``callback``
+  argument is a simple way to register a handler that will execute
+  whenever a response is finally received. Using this method, there
+  is no timeout limit. In case you need to remove the callback, the
+  name of the newly created callback is returned.
+
+    .. code-block:: python
+
+       cb_name = iq.send(callback=self.a_callback) 
+
+       # ... later if we need to cancel
+       self.remove_handler(cb_name)
+
+Properly working with :class:`~sleekxmpp.stanza.iq.Iq` stanzas requires
+handling the intended, normal flow, error responses, and timed out
+requests. To make this easier, two exceptions may be thrown by
+:meth:`~sleekxmpp.stanza.iq.Iq.send()`: :exc:`~sleekxmpp.exceptions.IqError`
+and :exc:`~sleekxmpp.exceptions.IqTimeout`. These exceptions only
+apply to the default, blocking calls.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    try:
+        resp = iq.send()
+        # ... do stuff with expected Iq result
+    except IqError as e:
+        err_resp = e.iq
+        # ... handle error case
+    except IqTimeout:
+        # ... no response received in time
+        pass
+
+If you do not care to distinguish between errors and timeouts, then you
+can combine both cases with a generic :exc:`~sleekxmpp.exceptions.XMPPError`
+exception:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    try:
+        resp = iq.send()
+    except XMPPError:
+        # ... Don't care about the response
+        pass
+
+Advanced Use
+------------
+
+Going beyond the basics provided by SleekXMPP requires building at least a
+rudimentary SleekXMPP plugin to create a :term:`stanza object` for
+interfacting with the :class:`~sleekxmpp.stanza.iq.Iq` payload.
+
+.. seealso::
+
+    * :ref:`create-plugin`
+    * :ref:`work-with-stanzas`
+    * :ref:`using-handlers-matchers`
+    
+
+The typical way to respond to :class:`~sleekxmpp.stanza.iq.Iq` requests is
+to register stream handlers. As an example, suppose we create a stanza class
+named ``CustomXEP`` which uses the XML element ``<query xmlns="custom-xep" />``,
+and has a :attr:`~sleekxmpp.xmlstream.stanzabase.ElementBase.plugin_attrib` value
+of ``custom_xep``.
+
+There are two types of incoming :class:`~sleekxmpp.stanza.iq.Iq` requests:
+``get`` and ``set``. You can register a handler that will accept both and then
+filter by type as needed, as so:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    self.register_handler(Callback(
+        'CustomXEP Handler',
+        StanzaPath('iq/custom_xep'),
+        self._handle_custom_iq))
+
+    # ...
+
+    def _handle_custom_iq(self, iq):
+        if iq['type'] == 'get':
+            # ...
+            pass
+        elif iq['type'] == 'set':
+            # ...
+            pass
+        else:
+            # ... This will capture error responses too
+            pass
+
+If you want to filter out query types beforehand, you can adjust the matching
+filter by using ``@type=get`` or ``@type=set`` if you are using the recommended
+:class:`~sleekxmpp.xmlstream.matcher.stanzapath.StanzaPath` matcher.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    self.register_handler(Callback(
+        'CustomXEP Handler',
+        StanzaPath('iq@type=get/custom_xep'),
+        self._handle_custom_iq_get))
+
+    # ...
+
+    def _handle_custom_iq_get(self, iq):
+        assert(iq['type'] == 'get')

+Enable HTTP Proxy Support

+
+In some instances, you may wish to route XMPP traffic through
+an HTTP proxy, probably to get around restrictive firewalls.
+SleekXMPP provides support for basic HTTP proxying with DIGEST
+authentication.
+
+Enabling proxy support is done in two steps. The first is to instruct SleekXMPP
+to use a proxy, and the second is to configure the proxy details:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    xmpp = ClientXMPP(...)
+    xmpp.use_proxy = True
+    xmpp.proxy_config = {
+        'host': 'proxy.example.com',
+        'port': 5555,
+        'username': 'example_user',
+        'password': '******'
+    }
+
+The ``'username'`` and ``'password'`` fields are optional if the proxy does not
+require authentication.
+
+

+Sign in, Send a Message, and Disconnect

+
+A common use case for SleekXMPP is to send one-off messages from
+time to time. For example, one use case could be sending out a notice when 
+a shell script finishes a task.
+
+We will create our one-shot bot based on the pattern explained in :ref:`echobot`. To
+start, we create a client class based on :class:`ClientXMPP <sleekxmpp.clientxmpp.ClientXMPP>` and
+register a handler for the :term:`session_start` event. We will also accept parameters
+for the JID that will receive our message, and the string content of the message.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    import sleekxmpp
+
+
+    class SendMsgBot(sleekxmpp.ClientXMPP):
+        
+        def __init__(self, jid, password, recipient, msg):
+            super(SendMsgBot, self).__init__(jid, password)
+
+            self.recipient = recipient
+            self.msg = msg
+
+            self.add_event_handler('session_start', self.start)
+
+        def start(self, event):
+            self.send_presence()
+            self.get_roster()
+
+Note that as in :ref:`echobot`, we need to include send an initial presence and request
+the roster. Next, we want to send our message, and to do that we will use :meth:`send_message <sleekxmpp.basexmpp.BaseXMPP.send_message>`.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    def start(self, event):
+        self.send_presence()
+        self.get_roster()
+
+        self.send_message(mto=self.recipient, mbody=self.msg)
+
+Finally, we need to disconnect the client using :meth:`disconnect <sleekxmpp.xmlstream.XMLStream.disconnect>`.
+Now, sent stanzas are placed in a queue to pass them to the send thread. If we were to call
+:meth:`disconnect <sleekxmpp.xmlstream.XMLStream.disconnect>` without any parameters, then it is possible
+for the client to disconnect before the send queue is processed and the message is actually
+sent on the wire. To ensure that our message is processed, we use 
+:meth:`disconnect(wait=True) <sleekxmpp.xmlstream.XMLStream.disconnect>`.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    def start(self, event):
+        self.send_presence()
+        self.get_roster()
+
+        self.send_message(mto=self.recipient, mbody=self.msg)
+
+        self.disconnect(wait=True)
+
+.. warning::
+
+    If you happen to be adding stanzas to the send queue faster than the send thread
+    can process them, then :meth:`disconnect(wait=True) <sleekxmpp.xmlstream.XMLStream.disconnect>`
+    will block and not disconnect.
+
+Final Product
+-------------
+
+.. compound::
+
+    The final step is to create a small runner script for initialising our ``SendMsgBot`` class and adding some
+    basic configuration options. By following the basic boilerplate pattern in :ref:`echobot`, we arrive
+    at the code below. To experiment with this example, you can use:
+
+    .. code-block:: sh
+
+            python send_client.py -d -j oneshot@example.com -t someone@example.net -m "This is a message"
+
+    which will prompt for the password and then log in, send your message, and then disconnect. To test, open
+    your regular IM client with the account you wish to send messages to. When you run the ``send_client.py``
+    example and instruct it to send your IM client account a message, you should receive the message you
+    gave. If the two JIDs you use also have a mutual presence subscription (they're on each other's buddy lists)
+    then you will also see the ``SendMsgBot`` client come online and then go offline.
