Answer 1

Not quite a duplicate question, but the answers to " How can we use ms office communicator client exposed APIs in python, is that possible ? " should prove valuable.

If you are new to Python, you'll want to check out the Python Tutorial .

You may also wish to consider something a bit more Windows-oriented like VBScript or PowerShell, however.

Answer 2

OCS

For OCS, you should be able to use COM scripting to do most but not all[1] things. The code should look a bit like this:

import win32com.client

def get_contact(signin_uri, communicator):
   c = communicator.GetContact(signin_uri, communicator.MyServiceId)
   return c

comm = win32com.client.Dispatch('Communicator.UIAutomation')
contact = get_contact("jaya@contoso.com", comm)

You should be able to translate the documentation from the API fairly easily, especially if you focus on the JScript examples.

MSN/Live, AIM, ICQ, and IRC

For MSN/Live Messenger, the excellent twisted library contains an rudimentary implementation of a multiprotocol IM client (and server). To get started, check out some code samples .

[1] From the documentation:

For reasons of security, not all methods or properties can be called using JavaScript or another scripting language. Such restrictions are documented in Office Communicator Automation API Reference .
