The Python MXit transport can be downloaded from http://xmpppy.sourceforge.net/mxit/ from CVS.

Getting Started

Please try everything here at your own risk. There is no guarantee that the transport will work or not.

This guide is not complete!

Installing a jabber server

Firstly you will need to install a jabber server where the transport can connect to. Linux users can use 'jabberd2'. Debian/Ubuntu users can install this
easily by typing 'sudo apt-get install jabberd2'. Once installed proceed to the next step.

More information should be added here in time

Installing the transport

Make sure you install Xmpppy first by running 'sudo python setup.py install' in the main directory where you downloaded xmpppy.

Using jabberd2 its a very simple matter to install the transport. First go the 'mxit-transport' directory and make/edit the config.xml file. Most settings, etc. should be straight foward.
Once that is done its a simple matter of running 'python mxit.py' from the command line and away you go.

Registering to the transport
