You can use this script to counts approximate number of messages from Pidgin history(works only in plain-text archive, not in html). Replace UPPERCASE with appropriate info.
cat .purple/logs/PROTOCOL/MY_PROTOCOL_ID/FRIEND_PROTOCOL_ID/* | grep -w FRIEND_ALIAS | wc -l
where
PROTOCOL is protocol you use for a talk, for example irc jabber or gadu-gadu
MY_PROTOCOL_ID is an ID that you use to log in protocol (if you are only user of pidgin there would be only your folder so you can probably auto-complete it by tapping TAB)
FRIEND_PROTOCOL_ID same as MY_PROTOCOL_ID but for your friend
FRIEND_ALIAS alias that you gave to your friend in pidgin(it is shown before any of his messages), or your alias if you are interested in number of your messages
jabber example:
cat .purple/logs/jabber/me@gmail.com/friendName@gmail.com/* | grep -w friendName | wc -l
Of course script have serious drawbacks, because if you have changed someone alias, or use it often in your messages results would be heavy biased, but otherwise should be good enough approximation.
Krótki skrypt zliczający liczbę wiadomości wysłanych przez użytkownika PidginaSkrypt pozwala znaleźć przybliżoną liczbę wiadomości które do kogoś wysłaliśmy, lub od kogoś otrzymaliśmy
cat .purple/logs/PROTOKÓŁ/MOJE_ID/ID_PRZYJACIELA/* | grep -w ALIAS_PRZYJACIELA | wc -l
przykład gadu-gadu:
cat .purple/logs/gadu-gadu/1234/4321/* | grep -w Staszek | wc -l
It's been exactly a year since first PyShare release:). Today 20th version of PyShare is released as 0.5.0 bringing:
I would like to add branding to PyShare. If you want to help please send 192x192(or bigger) images(licensed CC-BY-SA) to naicik *at* gmail *dot* com with title "PyShare artwork". Artwork should be somehow connected to PyShare(ie: uploading, share of pie, python etc). If you send only one big icon keep in mind that gnome panel commonly have only 24px height so icon should be recognizable in this resolution. Bonus points for wallpapers with branding;) 
Result wasn't known until the box was opened;)
