Skype doesn't offer users the choice to set their status before they login.

This is quite annoying if you simply want to contact someone without notifying your entire contact list that you're online.

The following python script forces skype to log on as invisible, making you effectively a 'Skype Ninja'.

Currently the script will only work for window users and only when you've logged in at least once before.

Some tiny editing might be in order to make the script work for your system and updates may be in order to ensure it works for a broader audience.
