How do I set a GChat or jabber status via python? Right now I've got this:

import xmpp     

new_status = "blah blah blah"
login = 'email' 
pwd   = 'password'

cnx = xmpp.Client('gmail.com')
cnx.connect( server=('talk.google.com',5223) )

cnx.auth(login, pwd, 'botty')

pres = xmpp.Presence()
pres.setStatus(new_status)
cnx.send(pres)

It executes, but the status is not updated. I know I'm connecting to the server successfully, as I can send chat messages to others. What am I doing wrong here?
