Hello Martin, Zygmunt,

@Martin:
I read your e-mail, and began to search whether there were already
python bindings for udisks2 around. I believe that we should rather use
free-licensed existing material before inventing new implementations of
the wheel.

I found Zygmunt Krynicki's work at 
http://people.canonical.com/~zyga/udisks2.py

I found quite the same file as part of the debian package
python3-checkbox-support:

/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/checkbox_support/dbus/udisks2.py

So, which way would you approve?

1- embed a new copy of Zygmunt's udisks2.py in my package scolasync,
2- or create a small python3 package with Zygmunt's work, create a
   dependency from scolasync to python3-udisks2, and file a bugreport
   against python3-checkbox-support, to ask its author to depend on
   python3-udisks2,
3- or some other approach?


Thank you in advance for your response.

Best regards,                   Georges.
