Installation of Slixfeed with pip fails

[Schimon Jehudah via Python-list]

Greetings, to one and all!

My name is Schimon, and I am the developer of a news chat bot for the
XMPP network, called Slixfeed.

I have recently added support for OMEMO encryption, and a friend of
mine has reported that there is an issue installing it with pip.

I suppoes this is a fault of a package at PyPi, or a fault at my
pyproject.toml.

This is the link to the project:
https://git.xmpp-it.net/sch/Slixfeed#getting-started

Please advise,
Schimon

Barry. Thomas. I agree.

I do not have his machine to make observations, and therefore this
report is obscured.

I want to solve an issue of a friend who has attempted to install
Slixfeed, which is based on OMEMO, and the installation has failed.

I have asked him to install python-omemo and he has reported this:

$ pip install omemo

[...]

ERROR Failed building wheel for XEdDSA
ERROR Could not build wheels for XEdDSA, which is required to install 
pyproject.toml-based projects

Please see the attached screenshot.

Kind regards,
Schimon

Re: Unofficial PyBitmessage port to run with Python3 and PyQt5

[Schimon Jehudah via Python-list]

Good day, 711 Spooky Mart!

Congratulations and thank you for investing efforts to enhance
PyBitmessage, as it is an important telecommunication mean .

I use Arch Linux, and I would be happy to help you to test.

I have several tasks with Python, mostly on XMPP, so I am not sure I
would be available soon to help with coding.

Kind regards,
Schimon

This is very good!

Do you know of Plebbit?

It might be good to interoperate with Plebbit too.

Re: PyBitmessage is not dead. Ignore the FUD.

[Schimon Jehudah via Python-list]

Greetings!

I am interested in adding support for Bitmessage to Slixfeed news bot.

Support is currently provided to XMPP and it will be extended to Email,
IRC and Session.

Re: Python List is Not Dead

[Schimon Jehudah via Python-list]

Abdur-Rahmaan. Good afternoon!

I think, that if project Discourse would want to preserve and increase
its popularity, then it should realize XMPP PubSub to communicate and
manage posts, which is what project Libervia will do in near future.

I use BitMessage, Email, LXMF, MQTT, and XMPP to communicate messsages,
BBS, BitTorrent, eDonkey2000 and Gnutella to transfer files, and I
recently have started to use Gemini and Gopher.

HTML sites, with JS, are almost always result in wasting of time, and
life is better without HTML browsers.

I do not use HTML browsers anymore.

Best regards,
Schimon

Creating a framework for bots

[Schimon Jehudah via Python-list]

Good day!

My name is Schimon, and I create software in a form of XMPP contacts
(i.e. bots) with chat and visual interfaces.

https://git.xmpp-it.net/sch

I already have three bots, and several ideas for other bots, including
BitTorrent, MPD, and even Chess.

gemini://woodpeckersnest.space/~schapps/journal/2024-05-23-slixfeed-news-bot.gmi

https://schapps.woodpeckersnest.eu/journal/2024-05-23-slixfeed-news-bot/#preview

The basic structure of all of the bots is almost identical.

Instead of repeating code and copy and paste my own templates, I was
thinking of creating a framework for creating XMPP bots, based on the
module Slixmpp, and perhaps also for IRC and MQTT.

I do not know how to design a framework yet.

I would appreciate guidance.

Kind regards,
Schimon

Re: Creating a framework for bots

[Schimon Jehudah via Python-list]

Good day.

I am studynig decorators, and I am yet to understand how to create a
dcorator for a function which is invoked upon an event.

That is, the function depends upon an event from the event system of
Slixmpp, and the external decorator should be invoked by it.

gemini://woodpeckersnest.space/~schapps/journal/2025-03-19-designing-a-framework-for-xmpp-chat-bots.gmi

>From the frameworks of Flask, and FastAPI, I suppose that it should be
possible, and I do not understand that system yet to do so.

In the attached file you would see what I think that I want to do for
some of the functions that Slixmpp provides.

https://bpa.st/PDNA.

Please advise.

Module urljoin does not appear to work with scheme Gemini

[Schimon Jehudah via Python-list]

Good day.

Yesterday, I have added support for a new syndication format, Gemini
feed.

Yet, it appears that module urljoin fails at its task, even though
module urlsplit correctly handles Gemini.

Python 3.13.3

>>> from urllib.parse import urljoin
>>> urljoin('gopher://gopher.floodgap.com:70/1/overbite', '../one-level-up')
'gopher://gopher.floodgap.com:70/one-level-up'
>>> urljoin('gopher://gopher.floodgap.com:70/1/overbite', 'same-level')
'gopher://gopher.floodgap.com:70/1/same-level'
>>> urljoin('gemini://woodpeckersnest.space/~schapps/journal/2025-04-20-slixfeed-gemini-and-twtxt.gmi',
>>>  '../one-level-up')
'../one-level-up'
>>> urljoin('gemini://woodpeckersnest.space/~schapps/journal/2025-04-20-slixfeed-gemini-and-twtxt.gmi',
>>>  'same-level')
'same-level'
>>> from urllib.parse import urlsplit
>>> urlsplit('gopher://gopher.floodgap.com:70/1/overbite')
SplitResult(scheme='gopher', netloc='gopher.floodgap.com:70', 
path='/1/overbite', query='', fragment='')  
   
>>> urlsplit('gemini://woodpeckersnest.space/~schapps/journal/2025-04-20-slixfeed-gemini-and-twtxt.gmi')
SplitResult(scheme='gemini', netloc='woodpeckersnest.space', 
path='/~schapps/journal/2025-04-20-slixfeed-gemini-and-twtxt.gmi', query='', 
fragment='')
>>> 
>>>  
https://git.xmpp-it.net/sch/Slixfeed/src/branch/master/slixfeed/parser/gmi.py

Is this a problem with the module urljoin?

To whom should reports about such concern be conveyed?

Please advise.

Kind regards,
Schimon

Re: Module urljoin does not appear to work with scheme Gemini

[Schimon Jehudah via Python-list]

Is there an "ignore" option for "urljoin" to allow schemes that are not
included in the registry of the interpreter of the Python computer
language?

I think that it is needed to have, even if it is not registered, as
there are ongoing attempts to try to censor Gemini and Gopher.

Re: [egenix-info] ANN: eGenix Antispam Bot for Telegram 0.7.1

[Schimon Jehudah via Python-list]

Marc-Andre. Good evening.

Thank you for your respond.

I will definitely explore your project.

The XMPP modules are atomized in a single directory /interface/xmpp/ in
order to make it extendible to other interfaces (i.e. protocols).

I do consider to transform the directory of XMPP modules into a
framework for building XMPP bots.

I sense, that collaboration be feasible.

Kind regards,
Schimon

Re: ANN: eGenix Antispam Bot for Telegram 0.7.1

[Schimon Jehudah via Python-list]

Good evening.

Is this service also available for XMPP?

I am working on a similar project which is called KaikOut, and I will
be glad to collaborate.

https://git.xmpp-it.net/sch/KaikOut
Moderation service for XMPP

Currently, it supports XMPP, and in future it would also support IRC.

Kind regards,
