This was in the Documentation for Jabber - an Open Source INSTANT MESSAGING PRODUCT based on XML. http://jabber.org/ They have written a component that extends the Python Platform in XML. Here is a snip of the Description: "Python: PyJabber is 100% pure Python, portable, (optionally) threaded, compact, and trivial to integrate. It is fully functional and is ready for more testers, users, and being used to bring Jabber and real-time XML functionality to a variety of popular Python projects (mailman, zope, etc)." Looks interesting! Has anyone worked with it yet? Theodore E. Patrick Ishophere.com
