pyst: A Python Interface to Asterisk
====================================
Pyst consists of a set of interfaces and libraries to allow programming of
Asterisk from python. The library currently supports AGI, AMI, and the parsing
of Asterisk configuration files. The library also includes debugging facilities
for AGI.
Installation is the standard python install::
tar xvf pyst.tar.gz
cd pyst
python setup.py install --prefix=/usr/local
Documentation is currently only in python docstrings, you can use
pythons built-in help facility::
import asterisk
help (asterisk)
import asterisk.agi
help (asterisk.agi)
import asterisk.manager
help (asterisk.manager)
import asterisk.config
help (asterisk.config)
Things to do for pyst
---------------------
* ChangeLog:
The ChangeLog needs to be updated from the monotone logs.
* Documentation:
All of pyst's inline documentation needs to be updated.
* manager.py:
This should be convereted to be single threaded. Also there is a race
condition when a user calls manager.logoff() followed by
manager.close(). The close() function may still call logoff again if
the socket thread has not yet cleared the _connected flag.
A class should be made for each manager action rather than having a
function in a manager class. The manager class should be adapted to
have a send method that know the general format of the classes.
Upgrading from older versions
-----------------------------
If upgrading from...
* 0.2: Should work out of the box
* 0.1.0:
- agi.get_variable no longer throws an exception, instead it returns an
empty string when a channel variable is not set.
- manager.quit() has be renamed to manager.close()
Changes
-------
Version 0.3: Minor feature enhancements
The parsing of answers from asterisk was completely rewritten. This
should fix problems people were having with commands returning embedded
'/' or empty lines.
- Add playdtmf manager command
- rewritten manager communication
- should no longer choke on '/' in answers returned from a manager
command (fixes SF Bug 2947866)
- should now correctly parse multi-line output with embedded empty
lines
See the ChangeLog for older changes.
