emus, the RSS Bot is (almost) ready for production, thanks to Laura (especially), Link Mauve, Ramiro Romani and friends https://gitgud.io/sjehuda/slixfeed

can it also post to a MUC?

or only 1:1? ✏

Schimon_: it will fail eventually on server disconnection ... checkout how I've solved it (it is also an RSS to XMPP bot) https://codeberg.org/TheCoffeMaker/Morbot ✏

adding a callback to the disconnected event only is not enough

TheCoffeMaker, why do you call xmpp.process(forever=False) and then do the forever=True the next line?

(271-272)

Link Mauve, xmpp.process() is deprecated... the forever goes to the asyncio event loop

Correct, but then you can just not use it at all and run the asyncio loop yourself.

Basically remove line 271.

thx

will do

Link Mauve, in Morbot check the keep_alive method ... it's who does the actual disconnection handling magic

I’d love to fix reconnection someday.

In the library.

Instead of relying on the user having to implement such workarounds all the time.

I would prefer to have it well documented instead of blindly delegating it to the library

No I mean, slixmpp’s role as a library is to make XMPP usable, and reconnecting is part of it.

I understand your point

The library is the best place to know when stanzas got sent, received, didn’t get a reply and so on.

TheCoffeMaker, “ elif type(fut.exception()) is iqError:”, I think you meant IqError, with an uppercase I.

thx

Static analysers could help you find this kind of error, for instance pylint or cython.

yeah 😅

mypy as well I think.

I can recommend ruff+pyright
