Is a command line SIP client written in Python.

Built on top of PJSIP library, SCK was designed to enable VoIP for a system of panic buttons deployed across town. Valk Technologies was the first sponsor of this project, as the company required a command line SIP client to run in Linux systems for PC and embedded SoCs (Cubieboard 2 and Cubietruck).
