[Pysmpp-devel] Questions...

[Christian S. <c_s...@ho...>]

Hello,

I have been taking a quick look at pySMPP and it seems like it will suite my 
needs. There are a few things that probably will have to change and I wonder 
if maybe someone have any comments or ideas about it.

* First of all I will need two "optional" parameters as described in SMPP 
specifucation 3.4. As I see it it must be be quite simple to add these to 
the body of the sms pdu in the code.

* What could be a bit harder is that I probably will have to use asyncronous 
communication because the response in this case can take a few seconds. I 
guess I might need to use the "select" statement to be able to verify if 
there is anything to read/write on the socket. I am more used to program 
threaded syncronous communication and never really used the select statement 
but I hope it is not too difficult. Does anyone have any good ideas how to 
implement asyncronous communication where many messages could be sent on the 
same channel?

* My server will only trigger the sending of SMS and will not receive any 
SMS. So if I understand the specification correctly I will not have any need 
to support the "deliver_sm" pdu (only the "submit_sm" pdu). I think I will 
only work in "transmitter" mode. Am I right?

Any comments to my questions and thoughts are appreciated!
