[asterisk-users] ANN: Obelus, a Python AMI/AGI library

[Antoine Pitrou]

Hello,

I'm pleased to announce the first release of Obelus, a MIT-licensed
Python library to interact with Asterisk using the AMI and AGI
protocols.

Compared to existing libraries, Obelus is framework- and
programming-style-agnostic, and compatible with Python 3 as well as
Python 2. It also has an integrated test suite.

This is version 0.1, and as such some APIs are a bit draftish and not 
guaranteed to be stable accross future releases. Also, documentation is
far from exhaustive.

Quick links
-----------

* Project page: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/obelus/
* Source code, issue tracker: https://bitbucket.org/optiflowsrd/obelus
* Documentation (incomplete): https://obelus.readthedocs.org

Features
--------

* Python 2 and Python 3 support.
* AMI, FastAGI and Async AGI support.
* Event-driven API friendly towards non-blocking ("async") network
  programming styles.
* :pep:`3156`-style protocol implementations.
* Framework-agnostic.
* Adapters for the `Tornado`_, `Twisted`_, `Tulip`_ network programming
  frameworks.
* Unit-tested.

Requirements
