Nice! I missed this feature as there is no Pownce-Client for Linux.

Very cool stuff. I plan to dig into this soon.

Wow, that was fast! Nice job. I was wondering about sending Exception/qos... alerts to the admin via IM, when I did the trac-ticket django middleware. xmpppy might be a nice approach.

When I was writing similar libraries I found that the amount of code and the clarity of code was dramatically improved using the sleekxmpp library. That being said... it's got some shortcoming and needs some work (something I was hoping to get some traction on at pycon). Anyway take a look at it :)

@Christoph Thanks :)
@Anders Indeed, sleekxmpp looks sleek, though I don't know if changing powncebot's structure is worth the effort. But maby I just have to look at it a little longer.
The Pownce API 2.0 was released yesterday including official support to post notes. But I think I'll wait a little for James' python-pownce-api lib to be updated before integrating it into powncebot.

So I installed your bot, and I really think it's great. I've been trying to think of a cool feature to add, and then it hit me.
Pownce supports files.
So how about supporting a file transfer via the XMPP bot, which then relays the file up to the pownce. Sure it's round about, but it's a neat feature I think.

Thanks Rob, very good idea!
I need to have a more thorough look on the xmpppy lib that I used to build the bot. I think file transfer could be a weak spot of Jabber, since it's problematic on every other IM net.
