[SR-Users] python_exec and parameters

[Daniel-Constantin Mierla]

Hello,

not very familiar with the app_python initial design, but when I added
kemi support in it for kamailio 5.0, I think I noticed the limitation of
1 extra parameter. Probably you can encode your parameters in comma
separated value, so you can parse it easier in the python script, as
opposite to parsing the entire message buffer.

An alternative may be getting the value for $fu or $tu if python offers
the api for getting/setting pseudo-variables -- these are for sure in
kemi exports to python.

Of course, if anyone adds support for more parameters, then it will be
accepted inside kamailio repo.

Cheers,
Daniel
