For the project at hand, what I am interested in is specific documentation and example code for telepathy-glib in python. For now, I'm using as much of the existing code as possible, changing the direct connection handling to MC5 specific features such as account/connection handling through AM and channels through CD, using telepathy-python client bindings. It is only once I feel having sufficient fluency with the current code base and tp-glib that I am prepared to begin the move to the latter bindings. The application I am working on is Apathy: <http://www.openapathy.org/> I am not paid or sponsored by anyone for this work. The time table I have set for the initial work is until the end of January. At that point I shall reassess the situation. Thank you for your answers and interest. _______________________________________________ telepathy mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/telepathy
