i'm wondering what exactly is bad about diversity?
Twisted is basically an ASYNC FRAMEWORK for developing protocols.
It already has a large list of supported protocols, and i think XMPP 
would be a
valuable addition.

Twisteds event loop integrates seamlessly with most gui event loops.
in the Python world, Twisted is the way to go as far as network app 
development.
