in this post i have used python and python-xmpp library and i have tested this on Linux but i suppose this will work on Windows as well.
since i did this on Linux(Ubuntu) i am writing the steps for Debian based operating systems which normally comes with python. type this in you terminal
sudo apt-get install python-xmpp python-dnspython
enter your super user password and wait till it installed. then open your favorite text editor in this case i am using gedit. copy and paste this code :
import xmpp FROM_GMAIL_ID = "kesh.jboy@gmail.com" GMAIL_PASS = ":Pthisisnotmyrealpassword:P" GTALK_SERVER = "gmail.com" jid=xmpp.protocol.JID(FROM_GMAIL_ID) C=xmpp.Client(jid.getDomain(),debug=[]) if not C.connect((GTALK_SERVER,5222)): raise IOError('Can not connect to server.') if not C.auth(jid.getNode(),GMAIL_PASS): raise IOError('Authentication error.') C.sendInitPresence(requestRoster=1) def myPresenceHandler(con, event): if event.getType() == 'unavailable': print event.getFrom().getStripped() C.RegisterHandler('presence', myPresenceHandler) while C.Process(1): pass
right !!! save this file as mygtalk.py and simply type
python mygtalk.py
in terminal...... wow you can see all your invisible buddies just give them a wink... have fun..
Cheers !
