That is exactly the sort of information I was looking for. Thanks so much. Yes I am using swig files in /libs/esl. Compiled it on swig v1.3(? whatever the version that is rpm installable on CE6) and now I tried it with v2.x. I think both are working fine and it’s a problem with the code on my end. I have a pretty good idea how to fix it. There aren’t any good Python examples but there are good PHP and Perl examples. So I think I can figure it out.

Why would you want to make a non-swig version of the ESL lib? The whole point is to make sure you get a reliable client. Everyone who tries to make their own runs into one of many challenges that are hard to overcome in a script lang. This is why you have the benefit of the wrapped C lib. xml_rpc has a bit less capability and is for sure less stable and scalable when put head to head with ESL. I wrote both of them myself so I'm not driven by affinity to one or the other. AFAIK xml_rpc is stable but the lib used is not so hot and I always wanted to use something better.

Actually mod_xml_rpc seems to be similar to mod_xml_curl. 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.

They are completely different tools for different jobs, not a one or the other situation.

I’ve got most things working except the most important part which is mod_event_socket. Now I found mod_xml_rpc which seems like a better way to go. Just wanted to get some opinions which is the better api interface before I get too far into trying to get mod_even_socket working properly. So far it’s been quite the headache. I am currently looking at fusionpbx and bluebox code to see what they are doing. _________________________________________________________________________ Professional FreeSWITCH Consulting Services: consulting@freeswitch.org <mailto:consulting@freeswitch.org> http://www.freeswitchsolutions.com FreeSWITCH-powered IP PBX: The CudaTel Communication Server http://www.cudatel.com Official FreeSWITCH Sites http://www.freeswitch.org http://wiki.freeswitch.org http://www.cluecon.com FreeSWITCH-dev mailing list FreeSWITCH-dev@lists.freeswitch.org <mailto:FreeSWITCH-dev@lists.freeswitch.org> http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/freeswitch-dev UNSUBSCRIBE:http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/options/freeswitch-dev http://www.freeswitch.org -- Anthony Minessale II ♬ @anthmfs ♬ @FreeSWITCH ♬ ☞ http://freeswitch.org/ ☞ http://cluecon.com/ ☞ http://twitter.com/FreeSWITCH ☞ irc.freenode.net <http://irc.freenode.net> #freeswitch ☞ http://freeswitch.org/g+ ClueCon Weekly Development Call ☎ sip:888@conference.freeswitch.org <mailto:sip%3A888@conference.freeswitch.org> ☎ +19193869900
