library0.9.0pypypi✓ verified 50d ago

Jeepney is a low-level, pure Python D-Bus protocol wrapper, currently at version 0.9.0, designed for interprocess communication on desktop Linux systems. It offers a non-magical approach to D-Bus, requiring more explicit code compared to other interfaces like dbus-python or pydbus. Jeepney is actively maintained with a release cadence of approximately one major version per year.

✗ from jeepney import DBusConnection

A basic example demonstrating how to import and use DBusConnection from jeepney to interact with D-Bus services.

import os from jeepney import DBusConnection # Establish a connection to the D-Bus session bus connection = DBusConnection() # Use the connection to interact with D-Bus services # For example, to call a method on a service: # response = connection.call(service_name, method_name, args) # Remember to handle exceptions and manage the connection lifecycle appropriately

Debug

Known issues

breakingThe deprecated 'connection.router' API has been removed in version 0.9.0. Use proxies or 'send_and_get_reply()' for routing replies to method calls, and 'filter()' for other routing needs.

fix

Update your code to utilize proxies or 'send_and_get_reply()' for method call replies, and 'filter()' for other routing functionalities.

affects: 0.9.0

breakingThe 'unwrap' parameter from 'send_and_get_reply' in the blocking integration has been removed in version 0.9.0.

fix

Remove the 'unwrap' parameter from 'send_and_get_reply' calls in your code.

affects: 0.9.0

breakingThe 'DBusConnection' class is no longer directly importable from the top-level 'jeepney' package due to module reorganization.

fix

Update your import statement. Depending on your integration, you should import 'DBusConnection' from a submodule, e.g., 'from jeepney.blocking import DBusConnection' for blocking I/O, or 'from jeepney.io.asyncio import DBusConnection' for asyncio.

affects: 0.9.0

breakingThe 'DBusConnection' class is no longer directly importable from the top-level 'jeepney' package. It has been moved to a submodule, typically 'jeepney.blocking' for blocking connections or similar for other types of connections.

fix

Update your imports from `from jeepney import DBusConnection` to `from jeepney.blocking import DBusConnection` or the appropriate submodule where it now resides.

affects: 0.9.0
