[Linphone-users] Problem with the Python wrapper for Raspbian

[Csaba Peterfalvi]

Dear All,

I am running Linphone 3.6.1 on my Raspberry Pi 2b with the most recent 
Raspbian Stretch (Release date:2018-11-13, Kernel version:4.14). 
Following the description at 
https://wiki.linphone.org/xwiki/wiki/public/view/Linphone/Linphone%20and%20Raspberry%20Pi/ 
I tried to set up a video monitoring using the python wrapper from 
https://linphone.org/releases/linphone-python-raspberry/linphone4raspberry-3.9.1-cp27-none-any.whl. 
However, I cannot get past the following error message when I try to 
configure my account using ./linphonecam.py configure_account <username> 
<password>

File "./linphonecam.py", line 20, in __init__
    callbacks = linphone.Factory.get().create_core_cbs()
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Factory'

When looking at the documentation of the package at 
https://pythonhosted.org/linphone/index.html indeed, I can find neither 
'Factory', nor 'create_core_cbs()'. I would naively think first that the 
wrapper is outdated, but on the other hand, the tutorial at the wiki 
page is dedicated exactly to Raspberry Pi, so it must have worked at 
some point with a Python wrapper for Raspberry. The most recent version 
of the Python wrapper (3.9.1) predates the last update to the tutorial 
by more than 2 years, yet they don't seem to be compatible. Could 
someone tell what is the problem here and if there is any reasonable 
workaround to it?

I am also curious if we can expect updates in 
https://linphone.org/releases/linphone-python-raspberry/ after more than 
3 years since the last update, or the Raspberry line got abandoned 
altogether?

Thank you for your help in advance.

Best regards,
Csaba
