How to implement telephony?

Hi. I'm new here, so sorry if I do something wrong.

I'm trying to write a script that dials into a PBX (presumably using normal telephony) and plays an audio file into the phone. I've been looking for a module or other way to do this, but so far I haven't had any luck. I found a project called PyTele that looks like it does something similar to what I want, but I couldn't make it work; it seems to rely on an installation method (involving a file called Makefile.pre.in) that no longer exists in Python. It also apparently works only on Linux, which I can deal with if there's no other option but would prefer to avoid.

Does anyone know of a third-party module or other way to implement what I'm trying to do? Thanks a lot in advance!

Go for Ubuntu! It's pretty slick these days. Can easily make a dual boot, and improves your system performance no end! It does look like pyTele is a linux thing though. Never done what you're trying to achieve myself...

All the best

Check out Asterisk PBX system. There should be some python bindings...
