How can I get a message sender's username, regardless of their current nickname?

[Matt Newton]

I have a chat bot operating in a multi-user conference room, and a received message looks something like this:

<message to="bot_...@server.com/xxxxxx" type="groupchat" id="(id)" from="confere...@conference-server.com/person's nickname">

In this room, users are free to use whatever nickname they want. Their nickname does not have to be anything remotely resembling the username they used to log on to the server. However, I need their actual username to perform some operations on. Is it possible for me to extract their actual username when a message is sent? I had no trouble doing this using xmpppy (python jabber library) so I'm assuming it's possible, I just haven't figured it out yet. Thanks.

You'll have to keep track of presence messages from the MUC JIDs of interest to correlate with actual JID: http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0045.html#enter-nonanon

Let me know if you have any problems implementing such tracking.

That looks like something I should be able to work out. I'll give it a try, thanks for your response.
