Do you actually need Python for the IVR, or is it that you're comfortable using a scripting lang for an IVR? I like using XML for IVRs, but using scripting langs does give you a bit more power & flexibility at the cost of some resources. For the record, you can do this in the dialplan using XML and sched_api without touching a scripting language. Checkout the sched_api channel variable on the wiki - it may give you the functionality you need. -MC On Wed, Aug 26, 2009 at 7:59 AM, delianSPAM <delianspam@gmail.com> wrote:
Hello Everybody!
1. Scenario.
I am writing an IVR in Python that gets a destination from the calling party (party A) and then connects to the destination (party B).
When the call is CONNECTED, I want to:
- Receive DTMFs
- Have a timer that can call a certain function in my script. The script will have to play a message to party A.
- Have a timer that can call a certain function in my script. The script will have to drop the call.
Please notice that I want to do the things after the two parties are connected, and not after I send the Invite to party B.
2. Problem.
I will be happy to receive help on:
- Which methods should I look for to implement this.
3. Details
Here is how I connect the call currently:
session.execute("bridge",”sofia/internal/" + destination_number + "@ domain.com”)
I have tried to create a timer callback function “my_method()” using:
ivr_timer =threading.Timer(30,my_method)
This never called the function “my_method()”.
Maybe I am wrong in using threading.Timer and the “bridge” application? Maybe I need to create a new thread and a new timer using the API of freeswitch, plus to use the “session.setInputCallback”, plus use a conference rather than a bridge? Can you please provide any suggestions or examples?
Thank you!
