Exactly.

Thanks for the pointer. I was able to get the digits with the onDtmf
event, but eventually I finally found a cleaner solution. The
onCommandExecuteComplete returns the variable specified in the read (or
play_and_get_digits) command, but with 'variable_' prepended (using the
eventsocket python implementation, if your variable is foobar, you get a
dictionary with a key variable_foobar, e.g ev['variable_foobar']).

thanks for the help!
