Hubot-Skype

Skype Adapter for Hubot

This allows a hubot to take control of a running skype instance using Skype4Py. I created this adapter because other existing alternatives where incomplete or no longer mantained.

Installing

• Install Pyhon 2.7+ IMPORTANT: Skype4Py only works on python for 32bit, otherwise it will hang up on attaching to Skype.
• Install Skype4Py

You can get latest version from [http://sourceforge.net/projects/skype4py] thought to simplify installation I included a copy from this fork you can install it by running (be sure you are using python 32bit version):

npm run-script skype4py-install

• you can test Skype4Py is installed correctly this way:

& python
Python 2.7.3 (default, Apr 10 2012, 23:24:47) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import Skype4Py

(unless you get an error like ImportError: No module named Skype4Py, Skype4Py is installed correctly)

• Add hubot-skype as a dependency to your hubot package.json:

{
  "dependencies" : {
    "hubot": ">=2.3.0",
    "hubot-skype": "git://github.com/benjamine/hubot-skype.git"
  },
}

• npm install
• now you can hubot -a skype

You can override the path to the python executable with environment variable: HUBOT_SKYPE_PYTHONPATH

hubot-skype's Issues

Hubot is not answering to commands.

Hi, I had the same problem with hubot-skype package from npm by netpro2k.

When I setup module from your repo I saw that adapter is getting my messages.
I post some log output here - http://sprunge.us/KUGL

Any ideas why it's not working?
I am using Debian i386 with node v0.8.20.

Here is the npm list.
