Interacting with IVR system using Python s60 telephone module

[ArulSubramaniam]

Hi All,

I am new to Python s60 (5th edition) application development. I am trying to develop an application that will interact with IVR system and I am stuck with the telephone module.

Here is what I am trying to do. Dial a number (responding with IVR), wait for 5 seconds, press "1". I want all these through the code.

import telephone
import time

telephone.dial(u'12345')
time.sleep(5)
telephone.dial(u'1')

I couldnt find an API in python s60 for pressin/entering "1" after connecting a number. telephone.dial(u'1') is raising exception as there is another call in progress.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Perhaps you could use "p" in the number - e.g. telephone.dial(u'12345pppp1')

If you need sending further commands, consider checking if telephone module supports sending DTMF signals (unfortunately I can not find its documentation, searching for telephone with Google seems to be rather pointless even if I pair it with Python and/or module)

Hi G
How is the alignment tool development going?

Thanks hamishwillee. The pause (p) method works for me. telephone.dial(u'12345pppp1')

Thanks everyone!
