BaseXMPP

class slixmpp.basexmpp.BaseXMPP(jid='', default_ns='jabber:client', **kwargs)[source]

The BaseXMPP class adapts the generic XMLStream class for use with XMPP. It also provides a plugin mechanism to easily extend and add support for new XMPP features.

Parameters

default_ns – Ensure that the correct default XML namespace is used during initialization.

Iq(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Create an Iq stanza associated with this stream.

Message(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Create a Message stanza associated with this stream.

Presence(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Create a Presence stanza associated with this stream.

api

The API registry is a way to process callbacks based on JID+node combinations. Each callback in the registry is marked with:

  • An API name, e.g. xep_0030

  • The name of an action, e.g. get_info

  • The JID that will be affected

  • The node that will be affected

API handlers with no JID or node will act as global handlers, while those with a JID and no node will service all nodes for a JID, and handlers with both a JID and node will be used only for that specific combination. The handler that provides the most specificity will be used.

property auto_authorize

Auto accept or deny subscription requests.

If True, auto accept subscription requests. If False, auto deny subscription requests. If None, don’t automatically respond.

property auto_subscribe

Auto send requests for mutual subscriptions.

If True, auto send mutual subscription requests.

boundjid

The JabberID (JID) used by this connection, as set after session binding. This may even be a different bare JID than what was requested.

The single roster for the bound JID. This is the equivalent of:

self.roster[self.boundjid.bare]
