Cannot import Skype4Py in Python
Question: I'm using Skype4Py with Python 3.2.3 on windows. There was an error while
trying to import Skype4Py package and I did the following to figure out what
it was:

    
    
    import sys
    
    try:
       import Skype4Py
    except:
       print (sys.exc_info()[0])
       print (sys.exc_info()[1])
    

The output is as follows:

`<class 'Import error'>`

`No module named skype`

I installed Skype4Py with the windows installer. I can see the Skype4Py in
`Python32\Lib\site-packages`. How do I get this to work?


Answer: It is clearly stated in the [Skype Dev
Page](https://developer.skype.com/skypekit/reference/python/html/help.html)
that :

> _The Python wrapper is compatible and is tested with Python version 2.6.5 -
> Python versions 3.x are not supported at this time._

guess its bad luck then,

I reckon that skype dev's had given up the _SkypeKit Python Wrapper Reference_
due to lack of ...

**but**

you can find a independently maintained version of skype4py at
[Github](https://github.com/awahlig/skype4py) though it also only works in
python 2.x versions, it's updated regularly and, It has a far bigger community
than the skype maintained project which is nearly dead and also supports
latest 2.x versions rather than only supporting 2.6.5. here you can find the
Documentation for using the github maintained version of skype4py [Skype4py
usage](https://github.com/awahlig/skype4py#id3)
