Up and running for several days. Cannot say if my major problem is
away but at least it is not working worse than with the first alpha
version. ;-)

Keep going with the good work! :-)

[r000n]

It's third alpha of PyICQt 0.8.1
Changes in usability. Yeah, representation x-status -> mood/activity
works now :)
Documentation for end-users don't ready yet, but it's in progress and
will placed in wiki: http://code.google.com/p/pyicqt/w/list

Tarball: http://groups.google.com/group/py-transports/web/pyicqt-0.8.1a3-unstable.tar.gz

cool, thanks

0.8.1a3 - fly normal :-)

[Martin Sebald]

I had to restart the transport about 5 times than users were able to
login again.

This is what I found in the log, not new, but maybe you can use it for
further debugging:

Hi,

You may be interested in the following information: today something wired
happened and pyicqt stopped working for single user here, while continued
to work for others.

By "stopped working" I mean that it suddenly logged the user out, and on
attempt to re-login ansered with a message

Undefined condition.
The error condition is not one of those defined by the other conditions in
this list.
------
ICQ connection lost! Reason: [Failure instance: Traceback (failure with no
frames):
twisted.internet.error.ConnectionLost: Connection to the other side was
lost in a non-clean fashion.]

This message arrived not immediately after login attempt, but after a
minute or so.
During that time, transport status in user's roster was "offline"

The following was logged to pyicqt log file:

[2008-09-03 13:11:53] Traceback (most recent call last):

line 1970, in _cbRequestSSI
if snac[1] == 0x0f: # same SSI as we have
exceptions.TypeError: unsubscriptable object

I've tried several things to fix it, including trying the latest version
(0.8.1a3), and that did not help - I got the same behaviour and the same
traceback with 0.8.1a3 as well.

However, after an hour or so the problem suddenly disappeared and pyicqt
started to work correctly for the affected user again.

Since nothing changed at my side, I guess this could be caused by icq
server
sending something wired and then stopping doing so. However, maybe it is
possible to "fix" pyicqt to stop getting TypeError on "strange" input from
server?

[r000n]

I read today about this problems on ICQ servers. Usual clients like
Pidgin also has it: user can't get contact-list from server. PyICQt
uses server-side contact list and without it can't works in any case.
I think, checking for every packet from server it's bad idea. Of
course, possible fix this current traceback, but it was temporary
problem and may be it don't will repeats in future. And we don't knows
what will after next update on ICQ servers

[r000n]

Thanks, fixed

I agree that attempt to support any sort of unexpected server behaviour is
strange at least.

However, i'm interested [as a programmer] how in this particular case
TypeError could happen - that means, how invalid server input could change
the type of 'snac' object at oscar.py:1970
This may indicate a bug somewhere.

Btw, while we are on topic.

The serious issue that makes it virtually impossible to move local users
from icq to jabber+pyicqt, is that after initial registration in the
transport, user gets his icq contact list (sometimes huge!) imported into
jabber roster in numeric form (as NNN...@icq.xxx.xxx.xx). Is there any
possibility to automatically import nicknames of ICQ contacts (including
russian nicknames)?

it's client-side feature, for example, psi have option "autoresolv nick on add"

[Nikita V. Youshchenko]

Hmm. So it is not transport who inserts entries into user's roster?
Instead, transport asks clent to do so?

Also, I was not able to find the option in psi 0.10 from debian etch. Is it
available only on later versions?

no, transport add nick like u...@icq.server.com & client resolv nick
Independently

it's hidden option, but in psi-0.12 added "raw config.xml editor"
for 0.10 see

Hi,
I changed some use of range into xrange. And removed some range
completely. I hope that this will save some memory. After a few tests,
the transport seams to work after that patch.

You could download the patch at:
http://animux.de/downloads/pyicq-t.patch

Hope you will find it helpful.

What versions of python and twisted does 0.8.1b3 require?

Will it work in debian etch (python 2.4, twisted 2.4)?
