I wonder how can this package be useful w/o Skype installed (which isn't available in Fedora for obvious reasons).

Comment 2 Mario Blättermann 2013-05-11 09:13:34 UTC

The URLs in your spec are wrong. The site at skype.com is no longer available (says it doesn't exist or has been moved) and the upstream development is now here:

Indeed, it doesn't work without Skype. But it needs python2-devel as a build requirement only. I think it will be merely a playground for developers who work with the Skype API, so it would be useful, though. Not for end users, admittedly, unless they install Skype itself.
