Since my original Epiphany plugin hack, Empathy has matured and now sports new and improved version of Python bindings, including working bindings for Empathy-GTK, so we can reuse its widgets in other apps instead of reinventing half-assed ones.
So, I’ve updated the hack to work with the new bindings, and to use fancy Empathy’s ContactListView widget with contacts’ aliases, avatars and status messages, instead of plain ol’ boring JID list. I think it’s now usable (and pretty) enough to actually be used everyday, and not just an example of what could be done – so if you’ve got working Empathy setup already, give it a try! You can download the new version here: Empathy Link Share

Empathy and the bindings are still in heavy development, so it’s no surprise if some things don’t work as expected. If you get assertions like CRITICAL **: empathy_contact_list_get_members: assertion `EMPATHY_IS_CONTACT_LIST (list)' when you try to run the script although you are online, you might want to try and patch the bindings with this. Just go into empathy/python/pyempathygtk/ directory, patch it with patch -p0 < path_to_diff_file and rerun make and make install in the project directory.
