Audio recording for skype via python

Question

I have not tried anything yet but I am looking for some kind of pointers to show me the right direction. I want to write a script in python to record the conversations from skype. How can I write a program that records the conversation while conversations are made through skype? My platform is windows.

What I want to do:

Activate the python script (loop) to record as soon as the skype conversation starts.
record the conversation.
exit from the loop.
wait for the next conversation.

Update: I looked into Pyaudio and I can do the recording part now. However, I am still confused about how to let my program know that the voice session is activated and closed in skype.

Could you explain some more what exactly you want to do? (Examplary usage describing user who would do x,y,z ... would be good!) — przemo_li, Oct 01 '12 at 19:38

They do not seem to have methods to record the conversation. I might be looking for a direct thing, that might be might mistake. – Jack_of_All_Trades Oct 01 '12 at 19:42
