SIP SIMPLE client is Python software library built on top of [http://pjsip.org PJSIP] that together
4 199 Adrian Georgescu
with an elegant middleware allows for easy development of Client/Server and
5 204 Adrian Georgescu
Peer-to-Peer Internet communications end-points based on SIP SIMPLE protocols with
6 232 Adrian Georgescu
voice, video, presence, interactive messaging (IM) and file transfer capabilities.

The goal of this project is to deliver the best Open Source Python
9 193 Adrian Georgescu
library for rich featured SIP User Agents, while hiding the complex
10 187 Adrian Georgescu
underlying functionality behind an easy to use high-level application
11 187 Adrian Georgescu
programming interface. Compared to other available SIP libraries, this
12 209 Adrian Georgescu
project provides beyond basic audio calls, multiple streams support for IM, voice and video sessions, 
13 210 Adrian Georgescu
Interactive  Messaging (IM), file transfer and multi-party chat sessions using MSRP protocol, 
14 220 Adrian Georgescu
publication and subscription for rich presence information like availability, moods, activities and geo-location, management for presence rules, 
15 210 Adrian Georgescu
resource lists, RLS services using XCAP protocol.

Shortly said, this software allows you to create elegant real-time communications applications without having to read [http://www.rfc3261.net the +1200 RFC documents] behind it. If you read them all, some antidepressant and desintoxication is recommended after this effort.

This SIP SIMPLE software library has been closely developed together with and tested against the most popular SIP SIMPLE server software available today: [http://opensips.org OpenSIPs], [http://openxcap.org OpenXCAP] and [http://msrprelay.org MSRPRelay]. Included with the library, a set of [wiki:testscripts command line tools] are available for setting up real time voice, IM and file transfer sessions, publish and subscribe to presence or other type of events:
73 218 Adrian Georgescu
74 218 Adrian Georgescu
 * sip_register - REGISTER a SIP end-point with a SIP Registrar
75 218 Adrian Georgescu
 * sip_rtp_audio_session - Setup a voice audio session (Voice over IP)
76 218 Adrian Georgescu
 * sip_msrp_im_session - Setup an IM session using MSRP protocol
77 231 Adrian Georgescu
 * sip_msrp_file_transfer - Perform file transfer using MSRP protocol
78 231 Adrian Georgescu
 * sip_message - Send/receive text in page mode using SIP MESSAGE method
79 218 Adrian Georgescu
 * sip_publish_presence - PUBLISH presence to a SIP Presence Agent
80 218 Adrian Georgescu
 * sip_subscribe_presence - SUBSCRIBE to presence information
81 218 Adrian Georgescu
 * sip_subscribe_winfo - SUBSCRIBE to watcher list on a SIP Presence Agent
82 218 Adrian Georgescu
 * sip_subscribe_rls - SUBSCRIBE to lists managed by Resource List Server
83 223 Adrian Georgescu
 * xcapclient - Manage presence policy and buddy lists on an XCAP server

As a library with a high-level API, the toolkit can also be used to add voice, IM and Presence functionality to any networked devices as long as Python/C environments are supported by such platform. You may collapse the whole telecom industry into a simple ''Call me'' button or expand the presence buddy list to display the mood or blood pressure of your buddies (if they want to share this information with you). Some of the things possible with this library are listed here:

93 202 Adrian Georgescu
  * Setup Interactive Messaging (IM) and File Transfer ([http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4975 MSRP sessions]) with or without support from a [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4976 MSRP relay]
94 202 Adrian Georgescu
  * Create SIP SIMPLE end-points: [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3903 PUBLISH], SUBSCRIBE, NOTIFY for [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3265 SIP events], presence  data model and format ([http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3856 RFC3856], [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3863 RFC3863 ], [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4479 RFC4479]), [http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-simple-xcap-diff-09.txt xcap-diff], watcher-info ([http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3857 RFC3857],[http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3858 RFC3858] ), [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4575 conference], [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3842 message-summary]
