tropo - The TropoPython module. This module implements a set of classes and methods for manipulating the Web API for the Tropo cloud communications service at http://www.tropo.com/
For more information about the Tropo Web API that is used with this module, please see:
http://www.tropo.com/docs/webapi/
As this python module is still in development, please report any bugs or issues by raising an issue here:
http://github.com/tropo/tropo-webapi-python/issues
http://github.com/tropo/tropo-webapi-python/blob/master/tropo.py
Usage:
from tropo import Tropo
tropo = Tropo()
tropo.say("Hello, World")
json = tropo.RenderJson() You can write this JSON back to standard output to get Tropo to perform the action. For example, on Google Appengine you might write something like:
handler.response.out.write(json)
Much of the time, a you will interact with Tropo by examining the Result object and communicating back to Tropo via the Tropo class methods, such as "say". In some cases, you'll want to build a class object directly such as in :
choices = tropo.Choices("[5 digits]").obj
tropo.ask(choices,
say="Please enter your 5 digit zip code.",
attempts=3, bargein=True, name="zip", timeout=5, voice="dave")
...This module is for python 2.x and requires python 2.5 or higher.
There is a separate version available for python 3.x at:
