1. just copy the code from above in a textfile and name it whatever you want. (for example "pidginnotifyd.py")
2. copy it over to your phone (for example to the "Documents" folder)
3. start pidgin
4. open up xterm on your phone and type "cd MyDocs/.documents"
5. type "python pidginnotifyd.py"
now the script should be running

(everytime you close pidgin you have to restart the script too)

Also, do you know of something to make pidgin vibrate? thats one thing i'm still missing!

there are some dbus-commands which can make the phone vibrate - will take a look at it

Thanks for you're work!

no problem - i mainly do it for my own - for learning new programming languages and making pidgin on the n900 smarter ^^

I really think you'd be best off just making it a Pidgin plugin. Yes, one can only be made in C but I'll help with the DBus-GLib

after programming the whole thing in python it should be no problem to port it - now that i know how everything's working

but your help is - of course - very appreciated!
