OpenSIPS Python Packages

This repository contains a collection of Python packages for OpenSIPS. These modules are designed to be as lightweight as possible and provide a simple interface for interacting with OpenSIPS. Alongside the source code, the repository also contains a Docker image that comes with the OpenSIPS Python packages pre-installed.

Features

Currently, the following packages are available:

• mi - can be used to execute OpenSIPS Management Interface (MI) commands.
• event - allows you to use OpenSIPS Event Interface subscriptions.

Usage

1. Install the package from source code:

   git clone
   cd python-opensips
   pip install .
   

   or from PyPI:

   pip install opensips
   

2. Import the package in your Python code:

   from opensips.mi import OpenSIPSMI, OpenSIPSMIException
   from opensips.event import OpenSIPSEvent, OpenSIPSEventException, OpenSIPSEventHandler
   

3. Use the methods provided by the modules:

   mi = OpenSIPSMI('http', url='http://localhost:8888/mi')
   try:
       response = mi.execute('ps')
       # do something with the response
   except OpenSIPSMIException as e:
       # handle the exception
   

   mi_connector = OpenSIPSMI('http', url='http://localhost:8888/mi')
   hdl = OpenSIPSEventHandler(mi_connector, 'datagram', ip='127.0.0.1', port=50012)
   
   def some_callback(message):
       # do something with the message (it is a JSON object)
       pass
   
   ev: OpenSIPSEvent = None
   try:
       event = hdl.subscribe('E_PIKE_BLOCKED', some_callback)
   except OpenSIPSEventException as e:
       # handle the exception
   
   try:
       ev.unsubscribe('E_PIKE_BLOCKED')
   except OpenSIPSEventException as e:
       # handle the exception
   

Documentation

• MI - contains information about supported MI communication types and required parameters for each type.
• Event Interface - lists the supported event transport protocols and provides information about the required parameters for each protocol.
• Docker - provides information about the Docker image that contains the OpenSIPS Python packages.

Scripts

MI

After installing the package, you can use the provided opensips-mi script to run MI commands. This script takes the following arguments:

• -t or --type - the type of the MI communication (http, datagram or fifo).
• -i or --ip - the IP address of the OpenSIPS server.
• -p or --port - the port of the OpenSIPS MI.
• -f or --fifo-file - the path to the FIFO file.
• -fb or --fifo-fallback - the path to the FIFO fallback file.
• -fd or --fifo-reply-dir - the directory where the FIFO reply files are stored.
• --env-file - the path to the environment file that contains the MI parameters (by default, the script will look for the .env file in the current directory); lower priority than the command line arguments.
• -ds or --datagram-socket - Unix Datagram Socket.
• -dt or --datagram-timeout - Datagram Socket timeout in seconds. Default is 0.1.
• -db or --datagram-buffer-size - Datagram Socket buffer size in bytes. Default is 32768.

Usage

# general usage
opensips-mi -t datagram -p 8080 command_name [command_args ...]

# this will execute get_statistics command
opensips-mi -t datagram -p 8080 -s core: shmem:

# you can pass json string as argument with -j flag for commands that require arrays as arguments
opensips-mi -t datagram -p 8080 get_statistics -j "{'statistics': ['core:', 'shmem:']}"

Event

You can use the provided opensips-event script to subscribe for OpenSIPS events. This script takes the following arguments:

• all the above arguments for the MI communication
• -T or --transport - the transport protocol to use (datagram, stream).
• -li or --listen-ip - the IP address to listen on.
• -lp or --listen-port - the port to listen on.
• -e or --expire - the expiration time for the subscription.
• the event name to subscribe for.
• --env-file - the path to the environment file that contains the MI parameters (by default, the script will look for the .env file in the current directory); lower priority than the command line arguments.

Usage

opensips-event -t datagram -p 8080 -T datagram -lp 50012 -e 3600 E_PIKE_BLOCKED
