I want to write an application similar to this in Python.

Using Skype4Py, I've managed to setup a system that takes two landline numbers and joins them in a conference call. The problem with it is that Skype doesn't let you have multiple concurrent calls, which is what I need.

I was going to have a play around with Asterisk when I found Skype has the ability to do call transfers? I'd be able to take the two numbers, connect them up and then drop off the call leaving them to converse. And leaving me open to create another conference call with the requested numbers.

Skype4Py doesn't seem to have this transfer ability built in. But it does seem to have a function that'll send raw commands to the Skype API

The commands I want to send are, I think, https://developer.skype.com/Docs/ApiDoc/ALTER_CALL_TRANSFER

I'm just not sure how to do that, which is where you come in.
