python xmpp simple client error

Question

I'm getting the following error:

AttributeError: Client instance has no attribute 'Dispatcher'

while running the following code in python 2.7:

import xmpp 

user= 'uname@gmail.com'
password="pass"

jid = xmpp.JID(user) 
connection = xmpp.Client(jid.getDomain()) 
connection.connect() 
connection.auth(jid.getNode(),password)

Would be happy if someone knows how to fix it.

P.S. Full traceback of the error after the fix proposed by N3RO:

Answer 1

You need to specify a server you want to connect to.

connection.connect(server=('serveradress.com', portnumber))

After changing this I couldn't reproduce the AttributeError.

I would also advise you to use a correct JID to test your code. JID's are like E-Mails separated by an @, which is why in your sample code jid.getNode() returns nothing.

*Edit my Code example:

import xmpp

user = 'username@gmail.com'
password = 'password'

jid = xmpp.JID(user)

connection = xmpp.Client(jid.getDomain())
connection.connect(server=('talk.google.com', 5223))
connection.auth(jid.getNode(), password)
connection.sendInitPresence()

Answer 2

In your traceback it looks like you are trying to connect to talk.gmail.com which is a non existant domain, so the connection.connect statement will fail to open a connection.

Try to connect to talk.google.com which may be the right server's name.
