Takes a text-file as an input and pumps all the email-addresses into Pidgin. If being used with sipe then the account must be in the form of [email protected],DOMAIN\user (case-sensitive). If you wanna use it with other protocols just change the protocol according to what you're using. Usage: ./buddyadd <account> <group> <file>

buddyadd

#!/usr/bin/env python

#TODO: Add the capability of only adding contacts that aren't in the group already.
