It is not ESl but a python script only which is called from a XML extension. The code is as follows:

def initial_greeting(session, phone_number, channel_uuid):

    sangoshthi_greeting = "/usr/local/freeswitch/sounds/sangoshthi_ivr_audios/Sangoshthi_greeting.wav"

    invalid_digit = "/usr/local/freeswitch/sounds/sangoshthi_ivr_audios/Invalid_entry.wav"

    topic = str(session.playAndGetDigits(1, 1, 5, 5000,"", sangoshthi_greeting, invalid_digit, "[12345*]"))

     ivr_handler(topic, session,  phone_number, channel_uuid)

def handler(session, args):  

    session.setHangupHook(hangup_hook)

    session.setInputCallback(input_callback)

    print('session object value is ', str(session))

    callerid =  session.getVariable('caller_id_number')

    call_uuid = session.getVariable('uuid')

    phone_number = callerid[len(callerid)-10:]

     initial_greeting(session, phone_number, call_uuid)

Hello Deepika, 

As per my experience playandGetDigits is channel  variable so we can use it with session only. I don't think it will work with ESL. You can use mod_perl for same..

Hi

I need to originate calls to Indian mobile numbers from my python ESL script. I used to use service from a company for sending calls from Freeswitch to GSM network for which I set up external SIP profile. 

But recently I bought my own GOIP hardware, though I am able to make calls but DTMF events are not getting captured on Freeswitch, API like playandGetDigits does not work and there are no logs on Freeswitch console.
