Hello,
I just pushed the rpc command app_python.api_list to master branch.
Can you test and see if works? If all ok, then I will push it to
branch 5.1 as well.
Cheers,
Daniel

Hi again,
Regarding RPC list: I do not think it is implemented for python?
it is not, indeed, I just looked at the code. I am not much into
python myself, so it was overlooked -- I just added kemi support for
it on top of the previous app_python.
I checked the source and couldn't find
anything that would handle
the RPC call:
kamctl rpc app_python.api_list
Regarding the documentation:
I didn't mean to document in the source code, sorry for not
expressing myself clearly,
That was a proposal on the IRC devel meeting to add doxygen docs for
kemi function, which is good to have anyhow, but for something with
more details and examples, doxygen can become a mess.
I ment to generate the Kemi function
list documentation from the
source code automatically via a script instead of updating it
manually (so the documentation doesn't become stale). One example
could be to run the RPC api_list and take that list to generate a
documentation file that shows all available functions. I tried to
check that out now but couldn't get it working for python because I
think the command is missing (v5.0.4).
So to condense my proposal on how we could structure the KEMI docs
I would suggest:
- General documentation about how KEMI works: As it is now, great
- Document special functions that are only implemented in KEMI /or
differs from the original module implementation: As it is now, great
- Not have sections for each and every module, just one section
with a long list of exported KEMI functions with a link to the
original documentation
I'm happy to take a shot at generating a script for this but would
need help to understand how I can export the python API list.
I am going to add the rpc command to app_python, then you can try to
build your tool for it.
Cheers,
Daniel

thanks for the feedback, really appreciated! It is good to know
that KEMI is being used in production and also it shows its
potential for various needs.

There is an RPC command that lists the exported KEMI functions for
a running Kamailio. It reflects exactly what functions are
available from the kemi framework internal structure. This is like
an auto discovery, it is done automatically.
Addition docs can be added in the code using doxygen, however,
while that is good for short descriptions, I don't find it good to
add extensive docs and especially usage examples in the code. Also,
from past experiences, non-developer users tend not to look at the
code, therefore the improvements to docs in code from general users
are very low.
Anyhow, this tutorial was started with the initial goal of covering
the KEMI framework in general, and the special functions. For the
functions exported by modules I added only the acc as an example
(which is also a skeleton at this moment).
As I said, I am open for suggestions on how to do the docs for kemi
functions from modules. Your proposal with using somehow the code
is not like being dismissed, I just expressed my opinions based.
Contributions to parse the code and extract prototypes are of
course welcome.
Cheers,
Daniel
