Piping command output to an Empathy chat window

Question

This isn't Ubuntu-specific, but since Empathy is the default IM client on Ubuntu, I thought this would be a good place to ask.

I have a script that pulls current weather info from Google's weather API, and I'd like to pipe the output to an Empathy window. I imagine I'd have to do some telepathy scripting. Any hints or tips?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I'd like to avoid scripting telepathy if at all possible.

Do you want to paste this automatically or manually? If you just want to do it manually, you can do this:

program_that_outputs_weather_info | xclip

and then just paste using Ctrl-V.
