Hello, I know Gnome deprecated telepathy-python, but after needing to write a quick connection manager and really liking python I decided to try and update it for the current telepathy sepc.
My current progress is at: https://github.com/detrout/telepathy-python Mostly I've made sure it works with python3, though there have been a few other minor updates. Some of the changes I've thought about doing more long term: python3 has abstract base classes, perhaps the interface classes should use that instead of just running "raise NotImplemented" in all the _generated code I'm pretty sure I can replace the implementation of telepathy.server.Connection.GetInterfaces with introspecting on .__class__.__bases__ and thus remove the need for the generated code to have an __init__ function. (Which will hopefully make it safer to use super()) Also I really want to change the API to look more like this: from telepathy.Connection.Interface import Contacts class MyContacts(Contacts): @Contacts.method(sender_keyword='sender') def GetContactAttribute(self, handles, interfaces, hold, sender): pass instead of import telepathy class MyContacts(telepathy.server.ConnectionInterfaceContacts): @dbus.service.method( dbus_interface=telepathy.CONNECTION_INTERFACE_CONTACT_CAPABILITIES, in_signature="au" out_signature="a{ua(a({sv}as)}", sender_keyword='sender') def GetContactAttributes(self, handles,interfaces, hold, sender) Though it might need to be from telepathy.connection.interface.contacts import Contacts and I'm not completely sure if hiding the dbus type signature is a good idea. Also I'd like to modify the setup.py script to use lxml to do the xslt transformation instead of using autotools & xsltproc. I was thinking of trying to make this version of telepathy-python more closely track the TelepathyQt version (since the official glib way is to use gi.repository version) And lastly python has some really nice documentation tools so it might be generally useful to try and create documentation Diane _______________________________________________ telepathy mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/telepathy
