SimpleVoIP: A Python repository from pilona

How do I use it?

You generate some certificates:

./voip.py --cert cert.pem --certs certs.pem init --dh-params dhparams.pem

You exchange your public key. Yours is in the cert.pem file above, or whatever you named it. Add your contats to certs.pem or whatever you named it.

You figure out the IP address and port of your contacts.

The callee:

./voip.py --cert cert.pem --certs certs.pem s --dh-params dhparams.pem

The caller:

./voip.py --cert cert.pem --certs certs.pem c $yourip $yourport

Why can I hear myself echo on the other end?

Maybe the other guy's speakers are getting picked up by his microphone, and your voice being fed back to you?

Why does Python give me a `SyntaxError`?

Requires Python 3.5 or above, because I want PEP 448.

Why doesn't it work on Ubuntu?

Because I don't have time for the FFmpeg vs libAV tiff.

Why can't it work better with NAT?

I'm sorry, but that's your problem. I already pollute the code with an extra exchange to give the public address. You didn't expect much from something that doesn't even do symmetric RTP, right?

Why isn't there any form of protocol versioning?

Because I haven't made a stable release, and I really don't care to number trivial experiments.

Why isn't there feature X?

Because this is for fun, is intended to solve a specific use case, and isn't mean to replace SIP (like it was intended to be used, not like the PSTN), Hangouts, or your favourite VoIP protocol or service.

Why isn't it in PyPi yet?

Because I haven't found a good unused package name.
