== Getting the Modules == #getting

Currently we only distribute source codes and not binaries. If you need pre-compiled binaries for Windows platform, Tóth Csaba has kindly compiled and provided them for distribution: [http://dev.davidnet.hu/python-pjsua/]

The Python modules source codes along with some samples are included in PJSIP distribution, in [source:pjproject/trunk/pjsip-apps/src/python pjproject/pjsip-apps/src/python] directory. No separate download is needed.

== Building The Modules From the Source == #build
=== Linux (and probably Unix in general) ===
==== Requirements ====

 1. The [wiki:Getting-Started/Autoconf#Requirements usual requirements to build PJSIP], e.g. {{{make}}}, {{{gcc}}}, and {{{binutils}}}.
 1. '''Python''': this normally should have been installed on every Linux.
 1. '''Python development package''', to build the C extension. This might be called {{{python-devel}}} (e.g. on Fedora) or {{{python2.4-dev}}} or {{{python2.5-dev}}} (e.g. on Ubuntu).

==== Building the Module ====
Using Python build script:
 1. Build the PJSIP libraries first with the usual "{{{./configure && make dep && make}}}" commands.
 1. Go to {{{pjsip-apps/src/python}}} directory.
 1. Run '''{{{'sudo python ./setup.py install'}}}''' or just '''{{{'sudo make'}}}'''

Sample session:

 {{{
#!sh
  
   $ cd your-pjsip-root-dir
   $ ./configure && make dep && make
   $ cd pjsip-apps/src/python
   $ sudo make
 }}}

=== MacOS X ===

==== Requirements ====

We tested this on MacOS X 10.5.3 (Leopard), using the built-in Python installation. There don't seem to be any specific requirements (except the usual {{{gcc}}}, {{{make}}}, and {{{binutils}}}, which should have been installed by default).

==== Building the Module ====

The build instructions should be similar to the Linux instructions. Open ''Terminal'' from ''Application/Utilities/Terminal'', and run this:

 {{{
#!sh
  
   $ cd your-pjsip-root-dir
   $ ./configure && make dep && make
   $ cd pjsip-apps/src/python
   $ sudo make
 }}}


=== Microsoft Windows with Visual Studio ===

==== Requirements ====

 1. The usual [wiki:Getting-Started/Windows#Requirements PJSIP requirements for Windows], e.g. Visual Studio along with Platform SDK and DirectX SDK.
 1. '''Python SDK''': I personally use [ftp://ftp.activestate.com/ActivePython/windows/2.4/ ActivePython-2.4.3-12] distribution from [http://www.activestate.com ActiveState], since it has a matching debug package.
 1. '''Optional: debug package''': the debug package is useful if you want to debug the C extension. You can download it from ftp://ftp.activestate.com/ActivePython/etc/

==== Visual Studio Setup ====

 1. Add Python include directory (e.g. {{{C:\Python24\include}}}) to Visual Studio include directories.
 1. Add Python library directory (e.g. {{{C:\Python24\libs}}}) to Visual Studio library directories.

==== Building the Modules ====

'''Step 1: Building the C Extension'''

Visual Studio 6:
 1. Open '''pjsip-apps.dsw''' from {{{pjsip-apps\build}}} directory.
 1. Select '''python_pjsua''' project as the active project.
 1. Build the project
 1. The {{{_pjsua.pyd}}} Python module will be placed in {{{pjsip-apps\lib}}} directory.
   - or in case of debug, it will be {{{_pjsua_d.pyd}}}

Visual Studio 2005:
 1. Open '''pjproject-vs8.sln''' from the PJSIP distribution directory.
 1. Select either '''Debug''' or '''Release''' from the build configuration
   - Note: the Python module does not support other build configurations.
 1. In Visual Studio, right click '''python_pjsua''' project from the ''Solution Explorer'' panel, and select '''Build''' from the pop-up menu.
   - Note: the ''python_pjsua'' project is not built by default if you build the solution, hence it needs to be built manually by right-clicking and select ''Build'' from the pop-up menu.
 1.  The {{{_pjsua.pyd}}} Python module will be placed in {{{pjsip-apps\lib}}} directory.
   - or in case of debug, it will be {{{_pjsua_d.pyd}}}


'''Step 2: Installing the Modules''':
 1. Open ''Command Prompt''
 1. Go to '''{{{pjsip-apps\src\python}}}''' directory
 1. Run '''{{{python setup-vc.py install}}}''' (note that the installation script is {{{setup-vc.py}}} and not {{{setup.py}}}).

 Sample session:

 {{{
 C:> cd your-pjsip-root-directory
 C:> cd pjsip-apps\src\python
 C:> python setup-vc.py install
running install
running build
running build_py
running install_lib
running install_data
copying ..\..\lib\_pjsua.pyd -> c:\python24\lib\site-packages
 }}}


=== Microsoft Windows with MinGW ===

I did not try this myself since I use Visual Studio, but Adamczak Krzysztof suggested this on PJSIP mailing list to build the extensions with MinGW:

 {{{
  python setup.py build_ext --compiler=mingw32 install
 }}}



=== Common Problems ===

==== Cannot open include file: 'Python.h' ====

You need to install Python SDK.

== Testing the installation ==

To test the installation, simply run python and import ''pjsua'' module.

On Linux/Unix/MacOS X:
{{{
$ python
> import pjsua
> ^Z

$
}}}

Similarly on Windows:
{{{
C:> python
> import pjsua
> ^Z

C:>
}}}
