I haven't used that, but it looks cool ;-)

If you are interested in yahoo, then here is another python application
to connect to the yahoo messenger:

Again, I haven't tried that one, but perhaps you could just test it.

I have other links to tools based in the libyahoo2[1] package, but
unfortunately all are written in C or java. Perhaps you could find a
python wrapper in google.

Regards,
Josef
