SleekXMPP ######### .. sidebar:: Get the Code .. code-block:: sh pip install sleekxmpp The latest source code for SleekXMPP may be found on `Github `_. Releases can be found in the ``master`` branch, while the latest development version is in the ``develop`` branch. **Latest Stable Release** - `1.0 RC3 `_ **Develop Releases** - `Latest Develop Version `_ A mailing list and XMPP chat room are available for discussing and getting help with SleekXMPP. **Mailing List** `SleekXMPP Discussion on Google Groups `_ **Chat** `sleek@conference.jabber.org `_ SleekXMPP is an :ref:`MIT licensed ` XMPP library for Python 2.6/3.1+, and is featured in examples in `XMPP: The Definitive Guide `_ by Kevin Smith, Remko Tronçon, and Peter Saint-Andre. If you've arrived here from reading the Definitive Guide, please see the notes on updating the examples to the latest version 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.
