Yes, request a Telepathy text channel (and make Empathy be the preferred
Handler, if you want).
examples/client/python/ensure-channel.py in the telepathy-glib source
tree is something similar, but in Python. The important bits are that it:
* gets an Account object from the AccountManager (in a Shell extension
you'd presumably already have an Account you want to use - or you can
list all accounts that exist by their DisplayName and let the user
choose)
* creates an AccountChannelRequest
(in recent Telepathy this can be made simpler by creating it with
AccountChannelRequest.new_text(), then calling
set_target_contact() or set_target_id() on it)
* calls ensure_channel_async()
If you specifically want Empathy (and not some other Telepathy UI, like
kde-telepathy or Shell), you can pass
org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Client.Empathy.Chat as the preferred_handler
parameter to ensure_channel_async().
If you *really* want the chat to end up in Empathy, even if another
client like Shell itself is already dealing with a chat with that
contact, also call set_delegate_to_preferred_handler() on the
AccountChannelRequest.
