pystrix is an attempt at creating a versatile Asterisk-interface package for AMI and (Fast)AGI needs. It is published as an open-source library under the LGPLv3 by Ivrnet, inc., welcoming contributions from all users. Overview

pystrix runs on Python 2.6+ (intended to be compatible with Python 3.x with the 2to3 script), on any platform. It's targeted at Asterisk 1.10 and provides a rich, easy-to-extend set of bindings for AGI, FastAGI, and AMI. History

After some research, we found that what was available was either incompatible with the architecture model we needed to work with (Twisted, while excellent for a great many things, isn't always the right choice), was targeting an outdated version of Asterisk, or had a very rigid, monolithic design. Identifying the pyst and py-asterisk packages as being similar, but structurally incompatible, to what we wanted, pyst was chosen as the basis for this project, with a full rewrite of its AGI and AMI systems to provide a uniform-looking, highly modular design that incorporates logic and ideas from py-asterisk. The end result is a package that should satisfy anyone who was looking at either of its ancestors and that should be easier to extend as Asterisk continues to evolve.

##Usage

Detailed usage information is provided in the documentation, along with simple examples that should help to get anyone started.

##Documentation

Every release will be packaged with full offline HTML documentation, which is the preferred way to look things up.

Online documentation is available at http://static.uguu.ca/projects/pystrix/doc/, but please use the offline version when possible, since the online documentation is unstable and may not be available when you need it most.

Inline documentation is complete and made readable by reStructuredText, so you'll never be completely lost.
