PyPjUA is Python software library for [http://pjsip.org PJSIP] C SIP stack that together with a clever middleware allows for easy development of real-time communications end-points based on [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3261 SIP protocol] with rich presence and IM capability that run on desktop computers running Mac OS X, Linux and Windows operating systems, portable devices like Nokia Internet tablet, Apple iPhone or Android mobile phone.

The goal of this project is to deliver the best Open Source development kit for rich featured SIP User Agents while hiding the complex underlying functionality behind an easy to use high-level application programming interface. Compared to other available SIP libraries, this project adds both the to client and to the corresponding servers 'the missing' SIP-SIMPLE features for rich presence (Presence rules, Resource lists, RLS-services, RPIDF, XCAP full and partial document manipulation) and session based interactive messaging based on MSRP protocol including relay support.

The software library is tested against the most popular SIP server software available today: [http://opensips.org OpenSIPS], [http://openxcap.org OpenXCAP] and [http://msrprelay.org MSRPRelay] servers. To test the software you can register a free SIP SIMPLE account on [http://SIP2SIP.info http://sip2sip.info]. PyPjUA is part of a [wiki:SIPUADesign greater design] design to provide a fully fledged SIP UA.

As a library with a high-level API, the toolkit can also be used to add SIP and Presence functionality to network devices without a display (like TV set-up boxes), as long as Python environment is 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:
26 123 Adrian Georgescu
27 116 Adrian Georgescu
  * VoIP calls using Internet codecs (wide-band Speex, iLBC) and G.711 for compatibility with PSTN
28 116 Adrian Georgescu
  * Multiple RTP streams per session (for live broadcasting applications)
29 116 Adrian Georgescu
  * Session based IM with voice/video for rich end-to-end communications
30 120 Adrian Georgescu
  * Zero configuration when communicating over LAN (Bonjour)
31 1
  * Presence using SIP SIMPLE (PUBLISH, SUBSCRIBE, NOTIFY and XCAP policy)
32 111 Adrian Georgescu
  * Interactive Messaging (IM) and File transfer using MSRP protocol
33 111 Adrian Georgescu
  * Multiparty chat using MSRP chat server
34 116 Adrian Georgescu
  * Support for NAT traversal using ICE for RTP media and MSRP relay for IM and file transfer
35 111 Adrian Georgescu
  * Sharing desktop screen using VNC protocol
36 92 Ruud Klaver
  * Video calls

Besides the Python software library itself, the repository contains the ready to use sip-simple-test-tools package that can be used to:
41 1
42 87 Adrian Georgescu
  * Setup SIP [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4975 MSRP sessions] between end-points with public IP or behind NAT by using [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4976 MSRP relay]
43 117 Adrian Georgescu
  * Setup up VoIP sessions between end-points with public IP adresses or behind NAT by using ICE or MediaProxy
44 34 Adrian Georgescu
  * [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3903 PUBLISH] and [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3265 SUBSCRIBE/NOTIFY to SIP events] like [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3856 presence], [http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-simple-xcap-diff-09.txt xcap-diff], [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3857 watcher-info], [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4575 conference], [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3842 message-summary]
45 112 Adrian Georgescu
  * Manage presence policy the form of full or partial [http://www.tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4825 XCAP] documents like [http://www.tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5025 pres-rules], [http://www.tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4826 resource-lists, rls-services] and [http://www.tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4827 pidf-manipulation]
46 112 Adrian Georgescu
  * Lookup of SIP buddies using [http://www.tech-invite.com/SIPWGs/01-WG-SIP/Idrafts/draft-lee-sip-dns-sd-uri-02.txt Bonjour] (LAN broadcast), [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3263 RFC 3263] (Locating SIP Services) and P2P overlays
47 71 Adrian Georgescu
  * Setup up [http://www.tech-invite.com/SIPWGs/03-WG-SIMPLE/Drafts/draft-ietf-simple-chat-02.txt ad-hoc multi-party chat sessions] with an MSRP chat server (under construction)
48 33 Adrian Georgescu
  * Alarms systems for SIP calls (VoIP sessions with RTP)

Using these scripts is easy to prototype [wiki:RichPresence Rich Presence], IM and VoIP services based on the SIP protocol. 
51 103 Adrian Georgescu
To use these tools you can use your own infrastructure or register a free SIP SIMPLE account on [http://sip2sip.info http://SIP2SIP.info]

PyPjUA will be first integrated into [http://tribler.org Tribler]. Tribler is an application that enables its users to find, enjoy and share content. With content we mean video, audio, pictures, and much more. PyPjUA will provides real-time communications features that will allow users that have downloaded Tribler to:
60 62 Adrian Georgescu
61 80 Adrian Georgescu
 * Interact in real time with each other using rich Presence, Interactive messaging and audio
62 70 Adrian Georgescu
 * Communicate with other people that have access to SIP services from various SIP operators across the world
