Hello, Is the room for python discussion?, looking for py lib for xmpp integrations to Django thanks

define "xmpp integrations"

Like reading message and file attachments and storing it into db

https://github.com/RasaHQ/rasa like automating a chatbot for website

What was the version of Sleek that's still maintained? Slix?

Guess so.

You might like to look at https://lab.louiz.org/poezio/slixmpp

electrowinds, you might have better luck writing your chatbot outside of the website, and using an existing client like Converse.js for the chat widget on the website.

That way no Django integration will be required.

Thank you Kev and Link Will try this first 😊

I've had better experiences with aioxmpp, that might be worth a shot

And Django is not really well suited for a chat bot. And you only need it if the bot has to access or manipulate the Django ORM

But then you probably are better off with a dedicated bot runtime that either access the DB or some API of your Django app, e.g. via django-rest-framework

msavoritias: virtually no popular XMPP client uses a common XMPP library, they all wrote their own, take from that what you will

moparisthebest: well i have a life plus i like standards and collaboration. So i would rather contribute to the tigase kotlin library or to smack

I dont get people who have the NIH syndrome personally. I saw the flutter xmpp cilent too implementing all of xmpf from scratch...

I suspect you'll find there are reasons when none of the libraries quite fit but I guess we'll see :)
