Currently you need D-Bus from CVS HEAD, for new features and bug fixes to the

Python bindings. These patches should be included in version 0.51, and

snapshots and .debs for Ubuntu Breezy are available here:

Because telepathy-python contains generated code, the src directory

is incomplete. To run this version of telepathy-python without installing it,
10
you'll have to run ``python setup.py build`` and arrange for build/lib to be
11
on your ``sys.path``, for instance:

PYTHONPATH=$PWD/build/lib python examples/call.py a.account b@example.com

implementing a client in python. For examples, see ./test-client.py and

./scw-client.py, both of which will read .manager files from ~/.telepathy/ and

start a connection for you. The latter, scw-client, has a simple UI to show
