Hi All,
I want to write server/client chat protocol using python-2.5 . I want to make protocol similar to yahoo messenger or google-talk. Please suggest me how to start.
Thanks Reetesh Nigam

You should look at Twisted Words. Twisted is a Python networking library, and Words is a chat component for it. It has support for XMPP/Jabber, the protocol used by Google Talk.

It also has support for IRC which may be applicable.

I would suggest xmppy, though I'm sure Twisted Words (recommended by another answer) and jabber.py, python-xmpp, and no doubt many others, are also usable. Why not try them out a few of them and pick the one that best suits you?

There are several popular Python libraries for working with XMPP, a/k/a the Jabber protocol, which Google Talk uses. Here is a review that will point you to 3 of them.

PyXMPP required Python 2.6 , but do not want to move into python 2.6.So can you tell me some other libraries in which i can implement my chat server/client protocol using python 2.5

The other 2 mentioned in the article *do* work with Python 2.5.For jabber.py version 0.5.0, download (http://sourceforge.net/projects/jabberpy/files/jabberpy%20libs/0.5/jabberpy-0.5-0.tar.gz/download), extract, and run `python setup.py`For xmpp.py version 0.5.0-rc1, install from setup.py (http://sourceforge.net/projects/xmpppy/files/xmpppy/0.5.0-rc1/xmpppy-0.5.0rc1.tar.gz/download) or via easy-install (http://sourceforge.net/projects/xmpppy/files/xmpppy/0.5.0-rc1/xmpppy-0.5.0rc1-py2.5.egg/download)
