Is there a library for Skype to be used in Python/C?
For TwoToReal we use Jabber/XMPP to pull in experts in real-time whenever a user has a new question. This works fine but has also some limitations.
We would like to also be able to access experts through Skype -- so far only [Skype4Py][1] allows that. It has, however, serious drawbacks as it requires a running Skype GUI and is limited to one Skype instance per machine.
So, is there some backend support or library available that scales? It would be nice to have Skype support e.g. in [spectrum.im][2], which is a multi-transport library for Jabber/XMPP.
