To install on Debian, use +`apt-get install python-usb`; on RedHat, `yum install pyusb`. (Or `easy_install python-usb`?) + +Software using pybuddy: + Beside the scripts published in the contrib directory, there is other software using pybuddy: + * Jabbim (http://jabbim.cz/), a Jabber/XMPP client that mimics i-buddy MSN Messenger behaviour + * AMSN-iBuddy (http://github.com/frangor/amsn-iBuddy/blob/master), an AMSN plugin + +Other versions: + * pybuddy-dx (http://code.google.com/p/pybuddy-dx/) if you own a DX (DealExtreme) ebuddy + +------ + +Forked from Google Code's SVN at http://code.google.com/p/pybuddy/ + +Working on a non-daemon version (currently "my_pybuddy.py") and library that can be used elsewhere... + + ~ewall 2010-09-01 \ No newline at end of file
