Item n: Implement a scripting API
Origin: Kevin Keane, subscription AT kkeane DOT 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.
