By the way (and I guess this is also true for the past issues), this is only a problem if one instantiates a new client. At least my running (very small!) instance (Python script with while loop) that is already instantiated still works for me and I can chat with it.

This has been fixed in v0.4.17.

I've also added an option to manually supply the formkey, which should allow the library to continue functioning in case the automatic formkey extraction gets patched again.

I tried it with all versions, but it doesn't work. :(
