How to prevent chat participants from sending messages?

[bahkadomos]

Is there any way to prevent group chat participants from sending messages? So that they can only join the chat, but cannot write anything in it.

Also the question: in the documentation I saw the topic and users methods of the SkypeGroupChat class. I try to send them like this:
sk.chats.create(users=user_ids, topic='Some Subject')
but no messages are sent.

This is how it works:

ch = sk.chats.create(user_ids)
ch.setTopic('Some Subject')

But I haven't found any separate classes to set other methods.

SkPy isn't magic, it only wraps features provided by Skype for Web, and read-only chat membership is not one of them.

sk.chats.create(users=user_ids, topic='Some Subject')

Read the docs -- SkypeChats.create() accepts neither of those parameters.

But I haven't found any separate classes to set other methods.

Like what? Group chats have setTopic(), setOpen() and setHistory(); single chats aren't configurable.

How to set picture, for example?

That picture field has been a source of confusion in the past (e.g. #134), so uploading remains unimplemented at present. Pull requests welcome if you can get an upload to work.
