My python-potr Debian package has just been accepted into the official Debian
repositories. That means it'll also be included in Ubuntu, Mint, etc.
python-potr is a pure python implementation of OTR. We use it in
otrfilecoverter to handle OTR keys. It is also used by the gajim IM app to
provide OTR chat. I recommend gajim for anyone who wants a very friendly
GNOME XMPP app that supports OTR. Its got a much nicer interface than pidgin,
and also supports PGP. Unfortunately, it only supports XMPP.
Next up on this front: packaging the gajim-otr plugin itself so that there is
a trusted method for installing gajim. I've already been talking with gajim
packagers and developers, so this should pretty easy to do.
