instant messenging

Are there any instant messenging programs out there for use in a Python
app?? I've heard of Jabber, but never looke into it.

Maybe try Googling for "python instant messenging"? I note that
in the first page of results there are at least two Python
modules for the Jabber protocol...

You'd probably get better results googling for "python instant
messaging", the more common term for Jabber et al.

Jabber is a particularly good choice if you are really looking to use it
in a *program*, i.e., programs shipping data around to other programs,
because it is the only IM protocol (AFAIK) that actually was built with
that in mind, with traditional IM being layered on top of that.

I don't know how easy it is to start with PyJabber and learn from scratch,
as I've worked with Jabber too much to have a fresh perspective. Shouldn't
be too hard, though.

Ah, yes. The OP's term felt weird, but I didn't consciously
note the error... and Google still found stuff! :)

There are other instant messaging platforms, besides jabber. I use
AIM(AOL Instant Messenger) quite a bit, and here is a python
implementation: http://www.jamwt.com/Py-TOC/

I use it as a BOT, I can share my code if you care.

Hope this helps,

And for even more results, try Googling for "python instant messaging".

Thank you. Please do.

It's not remotely close to a good release, and the code isn't error
checked very well, but my bot (yumatito) has been up about 7 days now
on AIM without crashing, that's a good sign :p His torrent download
ability doesn't work yet, the code is there, but broken, as I haven't
completely grasped how the btdownload code works yet.. feel free to fix
that for me :p

Hope this helps,
Craig

Ah, could you possibly have a zip file?? I looked on your site and
downloaded the BZ2 file, but I'm not sure how to extract it. I have
Cygwin for another application, but I don't know how to get the files
out the BZ2. So either a ZIP file or instructions on extracting files in
BZ2 files would be greatly appreciated.

I think Cygwin has bzip2 & tar to extract files from .bz2 archives?

If you prefer a GUI application, try 7-Zip:
<http://www.7-zip.org/>
(version 3.13, don't use 4.x yet)

It does have both of those, but I;m not sure how to get them to act in
concert with each other.

First run bunzip2 and you will get the tar file, then run tar xf and you
will get the files extracted.
Or run tar xjf and it will automate them, or you can pipe the two commands.

All done, there is a ZIP file there. I tried to email you off list,
but it seemed to not go so well, so I'm posting here.
