Gajim is most advanced one, if you don't mind GUI. There are also few
CLI XMPP/Jabber clients, but most of them is *x-limited.

As for libs, there are 2 that are worth of attention: xmpp.py, which has
very slow pace of advancement (most current version is available from
Gajim svn repo, sigh!) and PyXMPP, which is very limited in usage due to
use of libxml, which makes porting to Windows a real PITA. If you want a
decent library, get the one from Gajim repo, it is not as standard
compliant as PyXMPP (PyXMPP author is a JSF member), but is really and
true cross platform.
