Send an XMPP message with Python

I'm trying to send an XMPP message using Python but I can't get it to work. It seems to be failing at the authentication step. I took this example from a previous question and set up a gmail account for testing.

import xmpp

username = '[email protected]'
passwd = 'ThePass123'
to='[email protected]'
msg='hello :)'

client = xmpp.Client('gmail.com')
client.connect(server=('talk.google.com',5223))
client.auth(username, passwd, 'botty')
client.sendInitPresence()
message = xmpp.Message(to, msg)
message.setAttr('type', 'chat')
client.send(message)

There's lots of debug output but this is the part that tells me it fails

DEBUG: socket       sent  <auth xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-sasl" mechanism="PLAIN">cmFuZG9tdGVzdDYwM0BnbWFpbC5jb21AZ21haWwuY29tAHJhbmRvbXRlc3Q2MDNAZ21haWwuY29tAFRoZVBhc3MxMjM=</auth>
DEBUG: socket       got   <failure xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-sasl">
  <invalid-authzid/>
  </failure>
  </stream:stream>
DEBUG: dispatcher   ok    Got urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-sasl/failure stanza
DEBUG: dispatcher   ok    Dispatching failure stanza with type-> props->  [u'urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-sasl'] id->None
DEBUG: sasl         error Failed SASL authentification: <invalid-authzid />

But then I also get this at the end

DEBUG: socket       sent  <presence id="2" />
DEBUG: socket       sent  <message to="[email protected]" type="chat" id="3">
  <body>hello :)</body>
  </message>

I've tried this xmpppy and sleekxmpp and the result is the same. This area is new to me so I'm probably making a newbie mistake, anyone have any ideas?

thanks

Your problem is not python-specific nor library specific. When you call xmpp.Client('gmail.com') you are specifying the domain part of the username as "gmail.com". Therefore, you should omit that from the username you're using.

Amend your third line to this:

username = 'randomtest603'

It should work(I tried it with my own account after generating an application specific password for this test and it worked only if I omitted the '@gmail.com' from the username, otherwise I got the same error as you).
