.. _differences:
Differences from SleekXMPP
==========================
**Python 3.5+ only**
slixmpp will only work on python 3.5 and above.
**Stanza copies**
The same stanza object is given through all the handlers; a handler that
edits the stanza object should make its own copy.
**Replies**
Because stanzas are not copied anymore,
:meth:`Stanza.reply() <.StanzaBase.reply>` calls
(for :class:`IQs <.Iq>`, :class:`Messages <.Message>`, etc)
now return a new object instead of editing the stanza object
in-place.
**Block and threaded arguments**
All the functions that had a ``threaded=`` or ``block=`` argument
do not have it anymore. Also, :meth:`.Iq.send` **does not block
anymore**.
**Coroutine facilities**
**See** :ref:`using_asyncio`
If an event handler is a coroutine, it will be called asynchronously
in the event loop instead of inside the event caller.
A CoroutineCallback class has been added to create coroutine stream
handlers, which will be also handled in the event loop.
The :class:`~.slixmpp.stanza.Iq` object’s :meth:`~.slixmpp.stanza.Iq.send`
method now **always** return a :class:`~.asyncio.Future` which result will be set
to the IQ reply when it is received, or to ``None`` if the IQ is not of
type ``get`` or ``set``.
Many plugins (WIP) calls which retrieve information also return the same
future.
**Architectural differences**
slixmpp does not have an event queue anymore, and instead processes
handlers directly after receiving the XML stanza.
.. note::
If you find something that doesn’t work but should, please report it.
