Skype4py receiving chat messages - TheWarOwl - Mar 2, 2017
Hello! I have some code that's supposed to run when Skype receives new messages, the code looks like this:
PHP Code
<?php
import Skype4Py
def RecievedMessage(msg, status):
if status == Skype4Py.cmsReceived:
print "I got your message!"
skype = Skype4Py.Skype()
skype.OnMessageStatus = RecievedMessage
skype.Attach()
while True: #This just keeps the script alive
pass
I am aware Skype has cut skype4com which is what skype4py uses, hence why you can no longer send messages with it (even though there's a workaround)
I've tried tons of different ways of doing this, all of which fail to work without errors even occurring. Is there something wrong with my code? Or could this also no longer be supported?

Try changing it to:
Code
def RecievedMessage(msg, status):
print "I got your message!"Does that work at all?

Does that work at all?
The console just stays empty. It doesn't seem like skype.OnMessageStatus is functional, that or something else is going wrong?

Did you accept the skype connection request in skype itself first?

Of course, I'm pretty familiar with using the module actually, I can't find anything on it online or in the documentation

OP, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Skype totally remove their API?

They did, but a lot of the features still work. I mentioned that in my post
Yo guys, I logged into my main account and the script is working ._. thanks for the help!
I've just looked into what was going on, It was because I was using an alt account through the web based skype making it so skype4com couldn't work with it, receiving messages from friends worked because they're using the actual skype client
