I want to change the speaking status of a conference member through a python script as:

import ESL

freeswitchcon =  ESL.ESLconnection(freeswitch_ip, freeswitch_port, freeswitch_name)

cmd = conferencename + member_id

freeswitchcon.api("conference", str(cmd))

This api doesn't doesn't fired though "originate" command works 

Another option :

import freeswitch

but this can't be called, due to module "_freeswitch" import error, instead need to called via the dialplan that calls the handler, doesn't looks a good way to do it

I am able to achieve this functionality in mod_java ESL simply using ; 

org.freeswitch.swig.API a = new API(new JavaSession());

String rt = a.executeString("conference "+conferencename+" mute "+member_id);

How can I achieve this in python?
