freeswitch python module

[brianmay]

Describe the bug

I would like to be able to use the mod_python module with freeswitch for Python support.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Attempt to build with modules containing languages.python.

Expected behavior

It should work. Even better, more modules should maybe be supplied with the standard distribution. Or maybe somehow split up into another package or something.

Screenshots

If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Additional context

Trying to do this myself, so far without success.

Possible configure required the -with-python3 flag. Not 100% sure yet.

Suspect this might be an issue also: signalwire/freeswitch#1479

Using Python3.9 solves this but then I get other (maybe unrelated?) build issues, such as it trying to execute /libtoolfor some unknown reason.

The install script attempts to copy freeswitch.py into Python's site-packages directory, which obviously won't work since that directory is read-only. Not sure if it's possible to properly package this module.

What about setting DESTDIR to something else?

I had a good look at this, but it appears that Python support is broken upstream, with a number of bug reports, and so far no response. I was getting a compile error due to using a deprecated Python API.

No chance of getting this fixed until upstream is fixed, so will close this for now.
