So I finally got a response from Skype tech support:

<quote>
Skype.framework is currently a private framework, meaning that you  
should include it in your application. It should be located in  
@executable_path/../Frameworks ... Let us know if this solves your  
problem.

And I've embedded the framework in my (PyObjC) application in foo.app/ 
Contents/Frameworks/

but it still doesn't load.  Is this a case where I should build a  
wrapper in ObjC and then load my wrapper from PyObjC?
