I've just connected to Skype using Python and the Skype API Framework. I get notifications, and can send commands:

I've started a new project at Google Code, where I try to create a platform-independent Python wrapper for the Skype API.
The trick was, of course, RTFM. I just needed to use PyObjC to create a informal protocol for the delegate class I use to connect with the Skype API. It's rather byzantine how Apple encodes type information.
