Phebe

Phebe is a Python package that provides a command-line interface for controlling a mobile phone connected to a computer. It allows users to perform common tasks on their phone such as getting usage statistics, backing up phonebook and contacts, and downloading or deleting short messages.

The package communicates with the mobile phone by sending AT commands to a device node and reading a textual response. The connection object encapsulates device-level communication with the phone, and protocols represent each functionality of the phone with its own group of AT commands.

Proxies, on the other hand, represent specific aspects of the phone's functionality and state to the application. They are stateful and modify the information stored in or the state of the phone. However, modifying a proxy's state should explicitly synchronize against the phone, and it is best to use at most one proxy per phone for any given functionality at a time.

Application objects are Phebe's highest-level objects that combine various functionalities independent of the command specification. They define and use Phebe-specific data structures and may use any number of different proxies simultaneously. It is important to note that manipulating an application object's state should not directly affect the phone; the phone should be modified explicitly through methods.

Overall, Phebe is a useful tool for managing a mobile phone from a computer. However, it is licensed under the terms of the Zope Public License (ZPL) 2.1.
