SYS module

[veloman]

I am trying to get a python script to capture the environment variables from an asterisk ip pbx system. The communication between the application and the script is via STDIN/STOUT/STDERR.

As soon as the script lauches the application (asterisk) should dump a list of environment variables via STDIN which I am trying to catch in a list and write to a file. Further I am trying to send a message to STDOUT. Neither seems to be working.

As I am new to Python I wanted to make sure that my script is correct. Can anyone see anything wrong with this script?

Python Script:

======================



#!/usr/bin/env python



import sys



# Read and ignore AGI environment (read until blank line)

env = []

text_file=open("output.txt","w")

temp = ""



# Creat a list to hold all of the environment variables sent by Asterisk

# Each item is sent on a line terminated with a newline

# and the end of the list is indicated by an empty line.

# The list of items received will look something like this:

# agi_request: test.py

# agi_channel: Zap/1-1

# agi_language: en

# agi_type: Zap

# agi_callerid:

# agi_dnid:

# agi_context: default

# agi_extension: 3

# agi_priority: 1

#



while(temp != "\n"):

temp = sys.stdin.readline()

env.append(temp)



# Print out environment variable received



text_file.writelines(env)



text_file.close()



# Send Asterisk a console message for debugging



sys.stdout.write('VERBOSE “Script Started” 3 ')



sys.stdout.flush()



res = sys.stdin.readline()



sys.stderr.write("Received %s\n"%res)



sys.stderr.flush()

I think the problem is at line:
sys.stdout.write('VERBOSE “Script Started” 3 ')
If you put other quotations(like normal ones):
sys.stdout.write('VERBOSE "Script Started" 3 ') it must work...it says smth about not having in the ASCII the characters you put into it.Hope it helps.
