Item n: Implement a scripting API Origin: Kevin Keane, subscript...@kkeane.com
Date: February 4, 2009 Status: What: I would like to see a scripting API that can be directly called from at least one major scripting language, such as Perl, Python, or possibly HTTP/XML/Soap or similar. Why: Currently, all scripting has to be done by emulating user input to bconsole. This is tedious, kludgy, error prone, and does not readily allow for taking different actions based on the output from one script. It also makes processing the output difficult (you have to parse out output that is intended for users), and ultimately also constrains the development of bconsole (because in order to not break scripts, bconsole cannot just change error messages for clarification, for instance). Somebody else recently pointed out that the numbering of queries in the Query command may change and break scripts, too.
