Twisted Words library provides implementations of a handful of IM protocols, including IRC, MSNP8, OSCAR, TOC, and Jabber.
Twisted Words provides two separate high-level end-user features:
a multiprotocol instant messaging server
a multiprotocol instant messaging client
These are both still in the early stages of development and are not expected to work flawlessly in all configurations, however each is quite usable for a limited set of functionality. A Twisted Words server can be created with just a couple commands:
$ mktap words --irc-port 6667 --pb-port 8787 --passwd password_file --group somegroup
$ twistd -f words.tap
The Twisted Words client is named im and is usable as an IRC client, and possibly an AIM client (depending on the phase of the moon).
Low Level Functionality:
Twisted Words also includes:
Low-level protocol implementations of OSCAR (AIM and ICQ), IRC, MSN, TOC (AIM).
Jabber libraries.
Prototypes of chat server and client frameworks built on top of the protocols.
