[Freeswitch-dev] mod_event_socket or mod_xml_rpc?

[João Mesquita]

Tony, the swigged version of ESL python module is not at all pythonic. As an example the use of get header for events that could use a more pythonic syntax like dicts do. I didn't mean to say that I wanted to no use the ESL C implementation as base at all, I just meant that the wrapper could be done using a tool that would make the python module more pythonic but still keeping the underlying implementation in C intact. Maybe that is doable using swig an if that's the case please ignore my own stupidity.

Since I already have that mod_xml_curl fetches from my app  working well I don’t think I will switch that.  Also just read that fs_cli uses ESL so that has sold me on sticking with it.  I just want to make sure I am not using features that are a bit on the fringe where it’s not very active, well tested, and fixes don’t come along very often.
