From e20c311b131246019ade0c964596a7fda758de68 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robert McQueen Date: Thu, 3 Nov 2005 21:47:31 +0000 Subject: 2005-11-03 Robert McQueen * python/service.py: Heavy refactoring of method invocation, with hopefully no effect on functionality. Nuked _dispatch_dbus_method_call in favour of a new _message_cb that uses seperate functions for looking up the method to call, marshalling the return values, and sending exceptions as errors, and is easier to follow as a consequence. Fixes some corner cases about returning things that don't match your declared out_signature, allows exceptions to define _dbus_error_name and have it be sent over the bus as the error name, and paves the way for cool stuff like heeding the message no reply flag, asynchronous method implementations, informing the method of the sender, and including backtraces in the error messages. * test/python/test-client.py: Catch and print exceptions thrown in the async callback tests, rather than passing them to the low-level bindings to be ignored in a noisy and frustrating manner. --- ChangeLog | 18 ++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 18 insertions(+) (limited to 'ChangeLog') diff --git a/ChangeLog b/ChangeLog index 07db9afe..e8542631 100644 --- a/ChangeLog +++ b/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,21 @@ +2005-11-03 Robert McQueen + + * python/service.py: Heavy refactoring of method invocation, with + hopefully no effect on functionality.
