Question

I want to use ms office communicator client apis, and i wan to use those in python is it possible to do ?

Answer 1

>>> import win32com.client
>>> msg = win32com.client.Dispatch('Communicator.UIAutomation')
>>> msg.InstantMessage('user@domain.com')

Answer 2

There is an JSON API to access all office communicator functions via "office communicator web access". You can download a description for that API. But nobody has implemented a module yet. The API is quiet complex.

Answer 3

I don't know very well Ms Office communicator but if it exposes a COM interface, you shoudl be able to access it through the Mark Hammond python bindings for COM http://starship.python.net/crew/skippy/

Otherwise, if it exposes a .NET API you should be able to access it with IronPython

I hope it helps
