Hi @rocknrollMarc
As far as I know, many emacs binaries for mac are not built with the dbus option.
But, the current implementation should switch to the python interface under no dbus environment.
Will you check the startup stacktrace, like command line: emacs --debug-init?

I have the same problem on an installation of emacs on OSX. Tried (debug-on-entry (require 'skype)) and got the following backtrace:

Hi @Benaiah
Will you try again with following code in your init.el?

(setq skype--com-handlers 'skype--com-handlers-py)

[Benaiah]

That makes (require 'skype) work, but whenever I do anything I get the following error: (setq skype--com-handlers 'skype--com-handlers-py).

@Benaiah
The python bridge is merged patch, so I'm not sure the further situation.
Well, do you have Skype4Py package?
