instead of marshal basic so we can handle recursive types in a variant
* test/glib/test-dbus-glib.c: Add test for marshaling recurive types
in variants
* test/glib/test-service-glib.c, test-service-glib.xml
(my_object_echo_variant [EchoVariant],
my_object_process_variant_of_array_of_ints123
[ProcessVariantOfArrayOfInts123]):
Add two test methods
* python/introspect_parser.py: New module for parsing introspect
data.
* python/dbus_bindings.pyx:
(various places): when throwing errors fix to use errormsg instead
of message local variable because Pyrex can get confused with other
message variables (initial patch by Robert McQueen
<robert.mcqueen at collabora.co.uk>)
(MessageIter::parse_signature_block): new method for getting the next
block in a signiture.
(MessageIter::append_strict): new method for appending values strictly
using the passed in signature instead of guessing at the type
(MessageItter:: append_dict, append_struct, append_array): use
signatures to marshal children if the signature is available
* python/exceptions.py (IntrospectionParserException): new exception
* python/proxies.py (ProxyMethod::__call__): Marshal args with
introspected signatures if available, else we fall back to the
old way of doing things.
(ProxyObject::_introspect_reply_handler ): parse introspection data
* python/service.py (ObjectType::_reflect_on_method): Properly
terminate <method> if there are no args in the reflection data
* test/python/test-client.py: add tests for talking with the GLib
test server. This gives us better coverage for introspection since
python to python will always generate arguments as variants. It also
allows us to test the robustness of the GLib bindings and interlanguage
communications.
(EmptyMessage): new class that subclasses Message. This is a workaround
to a Pyrex bug that fails to call __del__ when the Message object goes out
of scope. For some reason subclassing Message fixes this bug
(Bus::send_with_reply_and_block): use EmptyMessage instead of Message
* python/dbus_bindings.pyx:
- Fixed type objects to have self passed into __init__
- Added the Variant type
- Add the ability to specify types or signatures for Array, Variant and Dictionary
- (Connection::send_with_reply_handlers): return a PendingCall object
- (_pending_call_notification): handle the case when an error is returned
without an error message in the body
- (MessageIter::get_boolean): return True or False instead of an integer
- (MessageIter::python_value_to_dbus_sig): add direct checking of types and
add checks for objects with embeded signatures or types (Array, Variant and
Dictionary)
- (MessageIter::append_byte): handle case when the value is a dbus.Byte
- (MessageIter::append_dict): handle embeded types or signatures
- (MessageIter::append_array): handle embeded types or signatures
- (MessageIter::append_variant): new method
* python/proxies.py:
- (DeferedMethod): New. Dummy executable object used when queuing calls blocking on
introspection data
- (ProxyMethod::__call__): add the timeout keyword for specifying longer or
shorter timeouts for method calls
- (ProxyObject): Add first pass at an introspection state machine
- (ProxyObject::__init__): Add introspect keyword for turing off an on
introspection.
- (ProxyObject::_Introspect): Internal Introspect call that bypasses the usual
mechanisms for sending messages. This is to avoid a deadlock where the Intospect
call would be queued waiting for the Introspect call to finish ;-)
- (ProxyObject::_introspect_reply_handler): New. This method is called when
introspection returns with no error
- (ProxyObject::_introspect_error_handler): New. This method is called when
introspection encounters an error
- (ProxyObject::__getattr__): Code to handle different introspection states.
Queue async calls or block blocking calls if we are introspecting. Pass through
as normal if we are not or are done with introspecting.
* python/service.py: Import signal and method from decorators.py
* python/types.py: Add Variant type
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>)
when using recursive g_main_loops
* python/_dbus.py (class Bus): add the ProxyObjectClass
alias for ProxyObject to make it easier for the Twisted
networking framework to integrate dbus.
* python/proxies.py (class ProxyObject): add the ProxyMethodClass
alias for ProxyMethod to make it easier for the Twisted
networking framework to integrate dbus.
* python/proxies.py (ProxyObject.__getattr__): add further patch
from Anthony Baxter to throw an AttributeError when python
__special__ functions are called instead of marshling them over
the bus (Bug#1685 comment 3).
shared libraries (Bug#2494)
* python/exceptions.py: bring exceptions over from the bindings
so they can be used in applications (Bug#2036)
Make all exceptions derive from DBusException
* python/_dbus.py, python/proxies.py: implement __repr__ in a couple
of classes so that print obj doesn't throw an exception (Bug #1685)
- 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
