Update of FRITZ!Box access

[Jopyth]

Unfortuantely the python library can not be installed through the existing npm install instead I added another optional installation step for this.

Changes for #17 :

• a small python script connects to the FRITZ!Box and downloads the .xml files for call list and phone book
• the python library does not get stuck after a certain number of uses, therefore: problem fixed
• the node_helper then reads and parses those .xml files

Other Changes:

• New calls are appended to the front of the list (i.e. they are shown first instead of last). If this is #unwanted I can remove it, but it made more sense to me, to show new calls first (last calls fade out).
• Optional small status indicator (only shown, when no calls are present) shows how many contacts were loaded, and a small warning sign if anything went wrong. The config option is showContactsStatus (default: false).

Is there now way to do it without python? Does it create a xml file or is the python script directly parsed by node via console output?

use header appendix Isn't this only available in your fork?

No, without python it is no longer possible. However the general python environment should usually exist on the RPi. The old solution had an expire date, therefore I did not think it was useful to keep as an alternative. Or you would have to reboot the FRITZ!Box every now and then to make it work again.

It creates a .xml but mostly due to potentially multiple files (the call list, and multiple phone books might exist) and before I create some intermediate format, which stores multiple files, I thought real files might be better. But maybe the direct feed from console output is better.

Header appendix is reverted, it does not exist on this branch.

Yeah I know use it in the facial recognition stuff as well just like to keep the dependencies low :) but I am willing to accept it anyway.

In regards of the file, I am not really a fan of that... Dint you think there is a way to just send it over via console output like I do it in the facial recognition stuff without a separate file?

Definitely possible, yes.

I will change it to console output.

Perfect! Thank you for your hard work! :)

I think it should be finished now. Using stdout to transfer data + squashed some of my commits.
