MSN with Python

Question

I have plans to create a simple bot for a game I run and have it sit on MSN and answer queries. I want to use Python to do this and googled around and found MSNP. I thought "great" and "how awesome" but it appears that it's about 5 years old and oddly enough doesn't connect to MSN as they've probably changed one or two small little things over the years.

Does anybody know of something equivalent to that?

Answer 1

I don't know of anything equivalent, but you can look at the source to libpurple and roll your own without a terrible amount of difficulty.

Answer 2

If you're prepared to do some hard work with the original source code, you could update it to support the current version of the MSN protocol:
