Description-en: command line tool that acts as WhatsApp client
WhatsApp Messenger is a cross-platform mobile messaging app which allows
you to exchange messages, via Internet, without having to pay for SMS,
using a mobile phone.
.
In addition to basic messaging, WhatsApp users can create groups, send
each other unlimited images, video and audio media messages.
.
yowsup-cli is a command line program, based in python-yowsup library, that
allows you to login and use the WhatsApp service, providing all capabilities
of an official WhatsApp client, as encryption of messages. This program can
be used for multiple purposes as e.g. to receive messages from network servers
or appliances, notifying about issues, via direct command or by special agents
(Zabbix, Nagios, iwatch, portsentry, etc.).
.
This package is a good example of the python-yowsup library implementation.
