Low level *Skype for Linux* interface.
This module handles the options that you can pass to `Skype.__init__` for Linux machines.
The options include:
- ``Transport`` (str) - Name of a channel used to communicate with the Skype client.
Currently supported values:
- ``'dbus'`` (default)
Uses *DBus* thrugh *dbus-python* package.
This is the default if no transport is specified.
Look into `Skype4Py.api.posix_dbus` for additional options.
- ``'x11'``
Uses *X11* messaging through *Xlib*.
Look into `Skype4Py.api.posix_x11` module for additional options.
