</div>Is it, by any chance, using the Python bindings? IMH(non-developer)O,<br>
we should refrain from accepting Perl/Python scripts for contrib if they<br>
do not use the Perl/Python bindings.<br>
<br>
I don't know the current state of the Python bindings to know whether<br>
they are sufficiently usable to require their use for Python scripts or<br>
whether they require some additional work before that's feasible. As<br>
for the Perl bindings, though, they are definitely sufficiently usable<br>
in 0.21-fixes/trunk to require their use in scripts.<br>

I have similar scripts that I use for voip, etc but access the DB directly. please advise for future reference. If there is a set for perl (which I like to use rather than python) I would be interested in finding them for future code projects.<br>
