------------------------------------------------+---------------------------
 Adding Python scripting support under win32 will enable a lot of
 developers to write own "plugins" easily. Because a port of dbus to
 windows is not finished yet and also because dbus is not standard on
 windows, it might be better to enable the connection between pidgin and
 python by using sockets. So for example Pidgin starts a server which
 listens on a specific port and waits for incoming connection requests from
 python scripts. A user python script will import a module for connection
 with python and will connect to the server. After that the user has to
 authentify and easy api usage should be possible. The server<->client
 communication should be handled by the python module (easy networking like
 python-remoteobjects (pyro)).
