Skype4Py is a BSD-licensed open source Python wrapper for the Skype API. It works on Windows, Linux and MacOS X so your scripts will work on all these platforms without any change. Its API is very similar to Skype4COM making it also suitable for rapid prototyping. Skype4Py has been tested with py2exe so it is possible to build native Windows executables using it.

Skype4Py is a BSD-licensed open source Python wrapper for the Skype API. It works on Windows, Linux and MacOS X so your scripts will work on all these platforms without any change. Its API is very similar to Skype4COM making it also suitable for rapid prototyping.

Skype4Py has been tested with py2exe so it is possible to build native Windows executables using it.

The Skype4Py project is hosted on GitHub at https://github.com/Skype4Py/Skype4Py. Its old home page at http://skype4py.sourceforge.net/ redirects to the (now moved) location https://developer.skype.com/wiki/Skype4Py which shows the "page not found" page at Skype Developer site.

Skype4Py used to be officially supported by Skype, but it no longer seems to be the case as is evident by the removal of the project home from Skype Developer site.

Even the project's mention on the original developer's home page at http://arkadiusz.wahlig.eu/Skype4Py.html is very sparse with just the few details as given above.

A fork of the Skype4Py project is available on GitHub at https://github.com/stigkj/Skype4Py called "Fork of the Skype4Py v1.0.32.0 Python library with a simple patch for doing thread handling correctly on Python v2.6 and up on OS X"

The last released version of the original project at SourceForge is 1.0.32 (last updated: 2009-12-10). The fork at GitHub was made on 2011-05-13 and last updated on 2012-07-25 (see: commit history)
