pystrix 1.2.0

Python bindings for Asterisk Manager Interface and Asterisk Gateway Interface

pystrix is an attempt at creating a versatile Asterisk-interface package for AMI and (Fast)AGI needs. It is published as an open-source library under the LGPLv3 by Ivrnet, inc., welcoming contributions from all users.

Overview

pystrix runs on python 2.7/python 3.4+ on any platform. It’s targeted at Asterisk 1.10+ and provides a rich, easy-to-extend set of bindings for AGI, FastAGI, and AMI.

Release Schedule

The current code in the repository correspond to version 1.1.8 of the package. When a bug is found and fixed a new version of the package will be generated in order to keep it updated and as bug-free as possible.

New releases will follow the format: <release mayor>.<release minor>.<bug fixed> according to the change made to the code.

History

After some research, we found that what was available was either incompatible with the architecture model we needed to work with Twisted, (while excellent for a great many things, isn’t always the right choice), was targeting an outdated version of Asterisk, or had a very rigid, monolithic design. Identifying the pyst and py-asterisk packages as being similar, but structurally incompatible, to what we wanted, pyst was chosen as the basis for this project, with a full rewrite of its AGI and AMI systems to provide a uniform-looking, highly modular design that incorporates logic and ideas from py-asterisk. The end result is a package that should satisfy anyone who was looking at either of its ancestors and that should be easier to extend as Asterisk continues to evolve.
