Actually I have the same issue on Win8 (x64). While everything works OK on Win7 systems.

I've done some tests and so far I can tell the next:

python version is not the cause of the issue. Tested on 2.7.3, 2.7.4, 2.7.9 (x86 of course)
skype version is not the cause. Tested on 6.20 and 7+

I have 3 racks. Two with Win7 x64 (with latest updates) on them and one with Win8 x64 (with almost no updates).

Was a resolution ever found for this issue?

Hi. It can be due to MS removing the API, for its skype-bot api.

Hi friends, I have found that previously i created multiple account from my PC and that time i was login from secondary account. When i logout from Secondary Skype account and login from primary then it works fine.
