    44This {{{dbg_interactive.fdx}}} extension gives access to the freeDiameter framework through a Python interface layer. It can be used both to run pre-existing scripts or through an interactive console directly for quick tests / monitoring of the daemon's state.
     
    66A warning anyway: this python layer should not be used for any purpose other than quick prototyping and/or debug. The memory management and the efficiency are bellow the level of the framework itself -- although still pretty usable.

    1010{{{dbg_interactive_xml.fdx}}} extension does not use a configuration file. It is possible however to specify a file associated with the extension in the main {{freeDiameter.conf}} file. In that case, this file should be a python script, that will be executed by the embedded python interpreter. If no such file is provided, the interpreter is run interactively (as long as the daemon is run with a usable console).

    8383This is a simplified version without error checking, but it should give a good idea of the simplicity of use of the python interface.
