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.

Return type

Iq

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

Create a Message stanza associated with this stream.

Return type

Message

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

Create a Presence stanza associated with this stream.

Return type

Presence

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: Optional[bool]#

Auto accept or deny subscription requests.

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

Return type

Optional[bool]

property auto_subscribe: bool#

Auto send requests for mutual subscriptions.

If True, auto send mutual subscription requests.

Return type

bool
