hermes-chat 0.2.2

hermes-chat is a simple Python-based group chat server built on XMPP. Hermes lets you easily manage chatrooms for friends or colleagues.

How it Works

Supply your own XMPP-based (e.g. GMail/Google Talk) accounts to serve as chatroom hosts, add a lil' bit of configuration, and start it. Chatroom members simply chat with the host account. Hermes broadcasts the message to all other members on its behalf.

Usage

from hermes import start_server

pinky = { 'JID': 'p.suavo@wb.com', 'NICK': 'pinky' }

brain = { 'JID': 'brain@wb.com', 'NICK': 'brain' }

chatrooms = {
 'world-domination-planning': {
 'SERVER': ('talk.google.com', 5223,),
 'JID': 'wdp@foo.com',
 'PASSWORD': 'thesamethingwedoeverynight',
 'MEMBERS': [pinky, brain],
 },
}

start_server(chatrooms=chatrooms)
