* python/decorators.py: Add optional arguments to the method and
signal decorators to allow you to specify the signature of arguments
and return values. Preserve the doc strings of signal functions in the
decorated version, for pydoc and friends.
* python/dbus_bindings.pyx, python/proxies.py: Replace the
parse_signature_block function with an iterable dbus.Signature()
type. Fix a bug in MessageIter.append_strict where you could append
anything by claiming it was a string.
* python/service.py: Use the out_signature decoration on methods to
marshal return values, meaning you no longer require dbus.Array()
or dbus.Dictionary() to indicate the type when returning empty
arrays or dictionaries. Fix a bug where exceptions which are defined
in __main__ are not turned into error replies.
* test/python/test-client.py, test/python/test-service.py: Add test
for correct marshalling of return values according to out_signature.
Fix a bug in the async call test where the error_handler is missing a
self argument.
proxies.py, service.py: Cleanup of code after running it through the
pyflakes code checker mostly dealing with undefined names.
(Bug #3828, Patch from Anthony Baxter <anthony@interlink.com.au>)
for passing in the dbus message as keyword for edge case signal
handling
* python/matchrules.py (SignalMatchRule.__repr__): fix output
to conform with what dbus expects for match rules
(SignalMatchRule.execute): add the dbus message as a keyword
if the signal handler has requested it
* python/examples/example/signal-recipient.py: added some more
examples on how to hook up to signals
* python/proxies.py: minor formatting changes
* python/matchrules.py (SignalMatchRule, SignalMatchTree,
SignalMatchNode): new classes that implement wildcard signal
callback matching using a tree lookup. Heavily modified from a
patch sent by Celso Pinto (fd.o bug #3241)
* _dbus.py (add_signal_receiver, remove_signal_receiver, _signal_func):
use new match classes to handle signals.
- added new type classes for hinting to the marashaler what type
to send over the wire
- added int16 and uint16 marshalers
- Fixed a bug in the type constants that caused int32 to go out
as uint16 over the wire
* python/dbus.py: split up into different files and renamed _dbus.py
* python/__init__.py, python/_util.py, python/decorators.py,
python/exceptions.py, python/proxies.py, python/services.py,
python/types.py: new files split off from dbus.py
* python/Makefile.am: Add new files, remove dbus.py and
install all python files to <python module dir>/dbus
* python/examples/*: Added #!/usr/bin/env python to the top of
every example. Patch provided by Tatavarty Kalyan
