alright my problem seems to have disappeared by using aioxmpp instead of xmpp.py… not a great feeling but I’ll take it

raphael, have you looked into slixmpp?

(sorry if i already mentioned this)

Haven’t tried slixmpp, will look into it. Not enjoying aioxmpp too much (well it works but just a bit verbose), slix does look nicer

slixmpp has some weird design choices, but overall its pretty nice and has the feature of there being a plugin for pretty much every xep

the main thing to keep in mind is the way the xml interface works is `msg['plugin_name']['field']` and itll be a pain to get fields if you dont register the respective plugins

(my bridge is in python because slixmpp's component variant is genuinely really easy to work with)

slixmpp is nice, except that tooling like mypy/typing and similar doesn't play well with it. But it's entirely usable.

yeah i have a couple `# pylint: disable=` around my codebase lol

seems to mainly be their use of __get__ or whatever [] works out to
