How to implement a voice chat functionality using Python?

Question

Hi guys!

My goal is a cross-platform voice chat application. The part I am a bit confused about it's the voice transferring one : )

What can you suggest? Maybe a binding to some low-level library or even a framework?

BTW, I don't have to use Python, so if you think that Python is not a good idea for this purpose, please show me the true way : )

You should look into Telepathy:

There are Python bindings available:
