List of IM logged-in contacts?
 

Hey guys.

Is it possible to get a list of the logged-in contacts that are you using IM?

What I'd like to do is to create a Python script which pops up a notification whenever a contact of mine logs in, but where, or how, could I possibly find that "list"?

Regards,
Marcus

open your contacts -> press all contacts at the top -> press availability at the top.

it'll sort your list based on who's online.

Obviously that is not what I'm interested in though. I need to "read" the list within my application.

You probably want telepathy-python, see the roster.py example in particular.

I must admit that I've never looked into Telepathy, perhaps you could show me the spot where roster.py outputs the online contacts?

You can use Qt Mobility Contacts API.

Diph: That requires that I loop through all my contacts to check if they are online, correct?

Use QContactManager. I don't know about Python, but in Qt C++ you can get all contacts from manager and then listen contactsChanged() signal which notifys when contact has been modified. Then get presence state from contact.

E: You can also get filtered list of contacts from manager if you want to get only IM contacts.

So I guess there is no possible way without Qt? I have not been messing with Qt much.
