Skype4py attach does not work

Question

I am having trouble with getting Skype4Py to attach to my Skype client. I downloaded easy _install and used it to install Skype4Py. I have 64bit Python and windows 7. When I try the example script (seen below) line by line using the IDLE, I can't get past the skype.attach(), nothing seems to happen. I end up having to close the IDLE and kill the application. If you have any ideas please let me know. I apologize in advance. Just figuring out how to download Skype4Py was challenging for me. Skype is running and I am logged in.

import Skype4Py

# Create an instance of the Skype class.
skype = Skype4Py.Skype()

# Connect the Skype object to the Skype client.
skype.Attach()

# Obtain some information from the client and print it out.
print 'Your full name:', skype.CurrentUser.FullName
print 'Your contacts:'
for user in skype.Friends:
    print '    ', user.FullName

Answer 1

Currently looks like 64-bit Python is not supported, because Skype the client application is 32-bit.

Use 32-bit Python.
