Oh this is cool, +1 for making this open to everyone, also +1 for making it in python and not making in in a flashy-shitty EXE file and basking in glory like MOST such tool creators do...
Anyway, the way that skype allows to check user availability is stupid and it just allows to information leaking such as this. But does block an IP after certain amount of checks? or you use tor for new IP each time so that microsoft couldn't see who'se abusing it?

After five or six queries in a certain time, it starts returning false 200 (available) where it should be returning 403 (taken). It's pointless for them to do, but they did make it more difficult anyway
Previously I made it one check every seven seconds, but that was so slow, checking a thousand names took ages.

Nice simple app, well written.
I would suggest working requesocks out of it though as it is very outdated.
I think https://github.com/Anorov/PySocks is what most people use now for SOCKS proxies.
Thanks for the share +1
