I love your API, I use it since 5 years, it rocks!
But one question: why no update since 3 years? Are you stopping to maintain it?
It is more and more difficult to install it on the last Linux versions, and the GUI looks old now...
Cheers

I know it seems slow...but I think the rewrite to Python was pretty significant. And, it's easier IMO to install now that it's Python-based.
I, for one, have been working on some projects with relation to this, such as integrating kb2kskype with XBMC (for notifications), psuedo-911 dialing, and maybe even call waiting and caller ID.
So, hang in there and maybe it'll get better! :)
Are there specific issues you're encountered? If so, please create a separate topic so we can help you get it up and running.

"why no update since 3 years" - Are you aware of the front end re-write in QT-python for newer OS's. Its only in svn but works. Get the required software listed below from your software repository (apt-get or whatever)
#In a terminal
sudo easy_install Skype4Py
# make a temp dir to test the new kb2kskype in your home folder
mkdir ~/kb2kskype_py
# go to the new directory
cd ~/kb2kskype_py
# check the source code out from svn
svn co https://kb2kskype.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/kb2kskype/trunk/kb2kskype_py .
# change dir into source dir
cd src
# start kb2kskype
python kb2kskype.py
"Are you stopping to maintain it?" - kinda I don't use it and its not like there is a massive user base for it!
The packages for the driver need an update and the init script should be moved to systemd.

Any hint what I am doing wrong?

== required software ==
python 2.7
py-qt4 (aka python-qt4) (aka qt4-pythhon)
python-setuptools
svn
Check out the project source code and run it.

It might not be a massive user base, but I'm using it 24/7 for my home and business phones, so I plan on doing what I can to support it! :)
Credit certainly goes to Simon for his work and for getting it to a far more usable (and supportable) state!
I really would like to use my Skype phone in Ubuntu 13.04.
So, I tried the project source code:
quote
sudo easy_install Skype4Py
mkdir ~/kb2kskype_py
cd ~/kb2kskype_py
svn co https://kb2kskype.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/kb2kskype/trunk/kb2kskype_py .
cd src
python kb2kskype.py
/quote
Unfortunately, I had some error messages:
at sudo easy_install Skype4Py:

Can you remove the line "from sos.plugins import systemtap" at line 9 of kb2kskype.py and try again. I don't think that's needed for anything.
