This is the only python library I ever tried, and I had no problems with
it. However, I usually write small bots, so I probably don't know the
library well enough to find its disadvantages ;)

Nice thing for the "beginner" is that the package contains some (simple)
working examples. And if you need a more advanced "example" of Jabber
client written in pyxmpp, check cjc (http://cjc.jabberstudio.org/),
which is developed by the same author together with pyxmpp.

One more thing at the end:
If you decide to use pyxmpp, take the SVN version:
1) there are many new features in SVN version
2) some functions were renamed, so you won't have a problem when
upgrading in the future
