I just wrote a blog post that people here might find interesting about
using Gajim, a chat client written in python, and Gajim's OTR plugin, a
purely python implementation of the OTR standard, instead of Pidgin and
libotr.

Also, I wrote a script called pidgin2gajim that takes the OTR keys from
Pidgin and reformats them to work in Gajim, so you can keep your old
Pidgin key.
