I'm not a expert in this area, but by your assumptions seems to me that telepathy offer a better future for your project, and also will allow you to extend and add more feature in the application. Probably python-purple will be easier to use, but the telepathy features should reward your effort. And also notice that telepathy is under active development and have a large community that will help you for sure. Thanks for listening and accept the community comments :).
