Like I said, I don't have a good reason to dislike this. But for me personally, I have many config files that I will chose according to which account I want to login to, and I don't have a default config, so this wouldn't spare me the additional typing. > > My general feeling is I think you'd probably be happier with creating > > another pjsua as your scripting core.

Well that's my point. pjsua's output was never meant to be script friendly as it tries to communicate with humans. And my proposal was if you want anything like this, you can create a pjsua application in Python, and then build your application (using any script you want) on top of this Python application. Right now I really don't have any idea on what you would expect the pjsua output should be formatted. If you have a more concrete proposal on how the output should be formatted I would gladly consider that. > Have a look at expect ( http://expect.nist.gov/ ) - you'll surely see, what > I meant by that. > I know expect, I used it many years ago.
