Karaka uses Python 2.4+ and its standard libraries with XMPP support via the PyXMPP libraries and Skype support via Skype4Py. It also requires access to an XMPP server for several component and user connections.
Integrating Karaka requires the overriding of a small API responsible for managing user credentials: Karaka does not impose any particular credential management system or encryption technology.
I "think" we have Python (an interpretive language I think) for OS/2 as it was used by a Bittorrent client.
So does this mean we could get access to the Skype network from OS/2 - or am I misreading this ?
