        # If you wanted more functionality, here's how to register plugins:
        # self.register_plugin('xep_0030') # Service Discovery
        # self.register_plugin('xep_0199') # XMPP Ping

        # Here's how to access plugins once you've registered them:
        # self['xep_0030'].add_feature('echo_demo')

        # If you are working with an OpenFire server, you will
        # need to use a different SSL version:
        # import ssl
        # self.ssl_version = ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv3

        self.send_presence()

        # Most get_*/set_* methods from plugins use Iq stanzas, which
        # can generate IqError and IqTimeout exceptions
        #
        # try:
        #     self.get_roster()
        # except IqError as err:
