pyAXL - Home

Hi

pyAXL is an API written in python to access the AXL-API of the Cisco Callmanager. It should be compatible with Callmanager 4.1 up to 6.1. These are the versions i had the chance to test on. I can not guarantee that there will be no regressions creeping in, because i am usually able to test on the two newest callmanagers only. If you are successful on other versions or on other operating systems than Linux, please let me know.
Currently only the most needed methods for the daily work with CCM are implemented, but the API is easy to extend.

Prerequisites

• Python-2.3 or above
• libxml2 for python

Download

• 2008/08/05: pyAXL-0.5.4.tar.bz2 (37K), pyAXL-0.5.4.zip (84K)

   Changelog:

  • FIX: Wrong evaluation of config.version in AXLArgs addUserArg/updateUserArg
  • FIX: Do not raise exception when element is valid but not delivered by the server
  • FEATURE: New method CCMUser.appendPhoneProfile() for appending a phoneprofile without the need to mess with the already associated ones
  
  
• 2008/07/24: pyAXL-0.5.3.tar.bz2 (36K), pyAXL-0.5.3.zip (84K)

   Changelog:

  • FIX: Don't fail when no axl call was made
  
  
• 2008/07/19: pyAXL-0.5.2.tar.bz2 (36K), pyAXL-0.5.2.zip (84K)

   Changelog:

  • FIX: Workaround for error message during deletion of SharedSocket in httplib
  • FIX: Updated keys of Line and User for CCM6
  • FIX simplified imports of examples
  • cleanup imports
  • retreive cssmembers in sorted order
  • FEATURE: Use function names for axl-calls instead of call(...)
  • FEATURE: We do not import any modules in __init__.py anymore. If you want to import all CCM objects at once do this by importing from ccmobjects.py e.g.: import pyAXL.ccmobjects as axl
  
  
• 2008/04/28: pyAXL-0.5.1.tar.bz2 (41K), pyAXL-0.5.1.zip (117K)

  Note:

  There seems to be a problem in the python module "httplib" under some circumstances it causes an exception to be thrown during shutdown of an pyAXL application. Because this happens after your application has done all ist work you can safely ignore it. The exception does not occur when you import pyaxl by its directory name rather than by single module files. This is fixed in 0.5.2!

   Changelog:

  • Feature: Implemented DevicePool, VoiceMailProfile and VoiceMailPilot. Many thanks to Michael Opitz for providing me a patch!
  • Fix: Rename AddOnModule with uppercase "On"
  • Feature: implemented listAllProcessNodes() and getCCMVersion()
  • Fix: Don't fail when config.versioning_version is not defined
  
  
• 2008/04/17: pyAXL-0.5.0.tar.bz2 (39K), pyAXL-0.5.0.zip (113K)

   Changelog:

  • Fix: Use right namespace for versioning
  • Feature: Now uses http/1.1 with "keep-alive" and cookies. This results in up to 100% faster execution of AXL calls. "Keep-Alive" gives about 10% speedup. The Cookies do the rest. (Why doesn't Cisco tell anyone that these Cookies are actually useful and why don't they put the session informations in the SOAP header?)
  • Changed the type of AXLCallError.code from String to Int
