Code example that will make a Skype connection?

Al Dykes

Can some post a Python code fragment that will to make a PC with Skpye
installed to make a Skype call, given a valid phone # string.

I'm not asking for code that handles the audio once the connection is
made.

>Hi,

Just some thoughts / now answer :-(

The solution might vary on the platform / OS.

Would it be acceptable for you to
control for example firefox from python and firefox would control skype
via the skype plugin. (should exist for multiple platforms)

Do you search a native python solution or would you accept, that some
C-code had to be compiled.

Building a C module is fine as long as I don't have to debug it.

I know that FF can do Skype so, I guess, if I write a Python app that
runs in a browser, I've solved my problem. I'm about to learn Python,
so I haven't given any thought to how to do that.
Thanks for the response.

What would be picked for a portable Firebox-based app?
