Hello,
I am the developer of Confidant Mail, which is a secure non-SMTP email and file transfer program. It has its own user metadata mechanism, based on GPG keys plus some additional information which is self-signed. I would like to add chat capability, and have no desire to write yet another chat application.
Gajim looks like a good client to use for this. It supports OTR and does not have the libpurple problem. What I want to do is be able to click on "Chat with user" from Confidant Mail and have the user's XMPP address and OTR key inserted into gajim. I know gajim can accept an xmpp: url, but is there an easy way to feed in an OTR key fingerprint?
Confidant Mail is also written in Python, although it uses wx GUI toolkit.
Thank you, Mike Ingle https://www.confidantmail.org

Hi,
Everything can be done, but any idea on the way to transfer JID and OTR key from confidant mail to Gajim? Under linux we use D-Bus to communicate with a running instance of Gajim, but under windows, we don't have a way to communicate with a running instance of Gajim.

Perhaps by a query string, xmpp:user@gajim.org?otr=OTR_KEY_STRING

You don't understand what I said. How do you transfer this string to a running instance of Gajim under windows (without DBus)

Maybe Confidant Mail can manually feed OTR keys to Gajim, by writing the relevant gOTR files to the relevant Gajim directory, respectively.
Then again, I think you should merely rely on the mechanism used by Windows to open xmpp: URIs with Gajim.
