NoSMS

Requirements

• python-gammu
• Django
• gammu

Documentation

NoSMS is based on a regular Django model storing messages. A message has a text, identity, direction and status.

Messages status are: created, processed, error. Every 'created' message will be added to the send/process list.

Processed messages are never accessed and could be removed safely. Error messages are message which triggered an exception or problem during processing. Those are considered processed and won't be accessed again.

When NoSMS knows the problem is temporary, it leaves messages as created for later processing.

NoSMS respond to Kannel interface only: * receives incoming SMS as GET request from Kannel * sends outgoing SMS as GET request to Kannel

[NEW] NoSMS can also be used with Gammu-SMSd.

This is implemented with: * URL rule to receive messages in your Django configuration. * Django management command to loop on outgoing SMS submission.

Usage

# create new message from scratch
x = Message(identity="21345678", text="Hello World")
x.send()

# create sms using helper
from nosms.utils import send_sms
send_sms("9893812", "Hello World")

# example handler
def myhandler(message):
    if message.text.startwith('hello'):
        message.respond("Thanks %s" % message.identity)
        message.status = Message.STATUS_PROCESSED
        message.save()
        return True
    return False
