[pySM] Sites

Today all pysm sites (which used to be only trac) has been moved.
The “old” url (www.pysm.be) has been moved to the server hosting codercpf.be (Yes, this site)
We’ve changed the old only trac to seperated sites:
Update!
I put some url’s here last time, but those changed. For sake of having consistency, and not sending people to the [...]

PySM: sending IQ stuff

So, using sleekxmpp to send IQ set / get is quite simple, but requires some manual labor…
This is what I came up with, it’s all quite arbitrary, and can be put in a function easily. But at least now I finally figured out how to send IQ stuff. Receiving some might prove harder…

As I’m going, I’m learning a lot… It’s amazing how hard simple things can be.
Currently, I nearly have my SASL communication part of the server done… I’m actually excited, because that’s how far I [...]

More, more, more!

As it is, the time is constantly more limited. I need more time, lots and lots of more time (and I need to stay away from the stargate episodes ^^)
In the PySM story, I’ve been assigned with developing the system core on the system. That core will (or should) organize the processes, system resources, communication [...]

In light of a school project, we (me, Tim and Michel) decided to undertake a python project called the Python Server Managment.

Easy to maintain
Modular
Free and Open Source
At least similar functionality as plesk (And [...]
