I need to create a dbus object in python with method names that are decided at runtime.
The code I've tried is basically this:
import dbus
import dbus.service
from dbus.mainloop.glib import DBusGMainLoop
import gobject
DBusGMainLoop(set_as_default=True)
gobject.threads_init()
class greg(dbus.service.Object):
def __init__(self):
dbus.service.Object.__init__(self, bus, "/greg")
@dbus.service.method(
dbus_interface="com.blah.blah",
in_signature="",
out_signature="")
def dance(self):
print "*busts a move*"
def func(self):
pass
func = dbus.service.method(
dbus_interface="com.blah.blah",
in_signature="",
out_signature="")(func)
setattr(greg, "do_nothing", func)
bus = dbus.SystemBus()
busname = dbus.service.BusName("com.blah.blah", bus)
obj = greg()
loop = gobject.MainLoop()
loop.run()
In this case the function 'dance' is available on the interface but the function 'do_nothing' is not. I don't understand why? Is there a way to do what I'm trying to achieve?
