setting up confbot

[evilkev]

Hi folks. I'm trying to get this confbot to run on my XP machine, but
I'm having some problems.

Confbot downloaded from:
http://coders.meta.net.nz/~perry/jabber/confbot.php

The error I'm getting is this:
C:\WorkingScripts\Scripts\bot>confbot.py
>>> Connecting
>>> debug is [1]
>>> host is [gmail.com]
>>> account is [ATG...@gmail.com]
>>> resource is [conference]
>>> Logging in
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\WorkingScripts\Scripts\bot\confbot.py", line 1077, in ?
connect()
File "C:\WorkingScripts\Scripts\bot\confbot.py", line 981, in connect
con.auth(general['account'], general['password'],
general['resource'])
File "C:\WorkingScripts\Scripts\bot\jabber.py", line 516, in auth
if iq_result.getError() is None:
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'getError'

I'm not particularly sure of everything that needs to be done to get
this going. My assumptions are:
1. installed python and it works
2. created a new gmail account: ATG...@gmail.com
3. for superuser email, do I use the ATG...@gmail.com or another
email?
4. Should I be logged into GoogleTalk as ATG...@gmail.com when I run
confbot.py?
5. Do I need to logout of Gmail?

Any help would be appreciated.

I don't know the exactly error, but confbot cann't work behind a
firewall, that is it can not support proxy. So please connect internet
directly without proxy, and try again.

When I kick off confbot.py there's 2 notifications from Zone Alarms
about outgoing connections, so I say OK to both of those. So I don't
think the firewall is the issue.

Should I be signed into Google Talk as the account that I'm wanting to
use for my conference chat?

Should the super user admin account be a different account than the
account that I'm wanting to use for my conference chat?

thx,

No need.

Only commonly user account is enough.
