"""Module for high-level communication over the FreeDesktop.org Bus (DBus) DBus allows you to share and access remote objects between processes running on the desktop, and also to access system services (such as the print spool). To use DBus, first get a Bus object, which provides a connection to one of a few standard dbus-daemon instances that might be running. From the Bus you can get a RemoteService. A service is provided by an application or process connected to the Bus, and represents a set of objects. Once you have a RemoteService you can get a RemoteObject that implements a specific interface (an interface is just a standard group of member functions). Then you can call those member functions directly. You can think of a complete method call as looking something like: Bus:SESSION -> Service:org.gnome.Evolution -> Object:/org/gnome/Evolution/Inbox -> Interface: org.gnome.Evolution.MailFolder -> Method: Forward('message1', 'seth@gnome.org') This communicates over the SESSION Bus to the org.gnome.Evolution process to call the Forward method of the /org/gnome/Evolution/Inbox object (which provides the org.gnome.Evolution.MailFolder interface) with two string arguments. For example, the dbus-daemon itself provides a service and some objects: # Get a connection to the desktop-wide SESSION bus bus = dbus.Bus(dbus.Bus.TYPE_SESSION) # Get the service provided by the dbus-daemon named org.freedesktop.DBus dbus_service = bus.get_service('org.freedesktop.DBus') # Get a reference to the desktop bus' standard object, denoted # by the path /org/freedesktop/DBus. The object /org/freedesktop/DBus # implements the 'org.freedesktop.DBus' interface dbus_object = dbus_service.get_object('/org/freedesktop/DBus', 'org.freedesktop.DBus') # One of the member functions in the org.freedesktop.DBus interface # is ListServices(), which provides a list of all the other services # registered on this bus. Call it, and print the list. print(dbus_object.ListServices()) """ import dbus_bindings _threads_initialized = 0 def init_gthreads (): global _threads_initialized if not _threads_initialized: dbus_bindings.init_gthreads () _threads_initialized = 1 class Sender: def __init__(self, interface, signal_name, service, path, message): self.interface = interface self.signal_name = signal_name self.service = service self.path = path self.message = message class Bus: """A connection to a DBus daemon.
