Use this as a base for interacting with the system's notification service. ```python # ---- Message generator, created by jeepney.bindgen ---- class Notifications(MessageGenerator): interface = 'org.freedesktop.Notifications' def __init__(self, object_path='/org/freedesktop/Notifications', bus_name='org.freedesktop.Notifications'): super().__init__(object_path=object_path, bus_name=bus_name) def Notify(self, arg_0, arg_1, arg_2, arg_3, arg_4, arg_5, arg_6, arg_7): return new_method_call(self, 'Notify', 'susssasa{sv}i', (arg_0, arg_1, arg_2, arg_3, arg_4, arg_5, arg_6, arg_7)) def CloseNotification(self, arg_0): return new_method_call(self, 'CloseNotification', 'u', (arg_0,)) def GetCapabilities(self): return new_method_call(self, 'GetCapabilities') def GetServerInformation(self): return new_method_call(self, 'GetServerInformation') # ---- End auto generated code ---- ``` -------------------------------- ### Define D-Bus Object Locations with DBusAddress Source: https://context7.com/takluyver/jeepney/llms.txt Use DBusAddress to specify the target object, bus name, and interface for D-Bus messages. Create new addresses with different interfaces using the with_interface method. ```python from jeepney import DBusAddress # Create an address for the desktop notifications service notifications = DBusAddress( '/org/freedesktop/Notifications', # Object path bus_name='org.freedesktop.Notifications', # Bus name (destination) interface='org.freedesktop.Notifications' # Interface name ) # Create an address for the secrets service secrets = DBusAddress( '/org/freedesktop/secrets', bus_name='org.freedesktop.secrets', interface='org.freedesktop.Secret.Service' ) # Create a new address with a different interface item_address = secrets.with_interface('org.freedesktop.Secret.Item') ``` -------------------------------- ### Define D-Bus Interface Wrappers Source: https://context7.com/takluyver/jeepney/llms.txt The `MessageGenerator` class serves as a base for creating typed wrappers around D-Bus interfaces. Subclasses define methods that return pre-constructed messages for D-Bus methods. ```APIDOC ## MessageGenerator - Define D-Bus Interface Wrappers ### Description The `MessageGenerator` class is the base for creating typed wrappers around D-Bus interfaces. Subclasses define methods that return pre-constructed messages for each D-Bus method. ### Class `MessageGenerator` ### Subclass Example: Notifications ```python from jeepney import MessageGenerator, new_method_call class Notifications(MessageGenerator): interface = 'org.freedesktop.Notifications' def __init__(( self, object_path='/org/freedesktop/Notifications', bus_name='org.freedesktop.Notifications' )): super().__init__(object_path=object_path, bus_name=bus_name) def Notify(self, app_name, replaces_id, icon, summary, body, actions, hints, timeout): """Send a desktop notification""" return new_method_call( self, 'Notify', 'susssasa{sv}i', (app_name, replaces_id, icon, summary, body, actions, hints, timeout) ) def CloseNotification(self, notification_id): """Close a notification by ID""" return new_method_call(self, 'CloseNotification', 'u', (notification_id,)) def GetCapabilities(self): """Get server capabilities""" return new_method_call(self, 'GetCapabilities') def GetServerInformation(self): """Get notification server info""" return new_method_call(self, 'GetServerInformation') # Usage: gen = Notifications() msg = gen.Notify('MyApp', 0, '', 'Hello', 'World', [], {}, -1) ``` ``` -------------------------------- ### Construct D-Bus Signal Messages Source: https://context7.com/takluyver/jeepney/llms.txt Use `new_signal` to create broadcast signal messages for event notifications. Signals are one-way and do not expect replies. Ensure the emitter's DBusAddress includes the required interface for signals. ```python from jeepney import DBusAddress, new_signal # Define the emitter (sender) of the signal emitter = DBusAddress( '/org/example/StatusMonitor', bus_name='org.example.StatusMonitor', interface='org.example.Status' # Required for signals ) # Create a signal message signal = new_signal( emitter, 'StatusChanged', # Signal name 'si', # Signature: string and int32 ('connected', 1) # Signal arguments ) # Signal without arguments simple_signal = new_signal( emitter, 'Ping' ) ``` -------------------------------- ### Construct D-Bus Method Call Messages Source: https://context7.com/takluyver/jeepney/llms.txt Use new_method_call to create a D-Bus method call message. The signature parameter uses D-Bus type codes to define the expected argument types. ```python from jeepney import DBusAddress, new_method_call notifications = DBusAddress( '/org/freedesktop/Notifications', bus_name='org.freedesktop.Notifications', interface='org.freedesktop.Notifications' ) # Create a notification message # Signature: s=string, u=uint32, a=array, {sv}=dict of string->variant, i=int32 msg = new_method_call( notifications, 'Notify', 'susssasa{sv}i', ( 'MyApp', 0, 'dialog-information', 'Hello World', 'This is the body text', ['action1', 'Action 1'], {'urgency': ('y', 1)}, 5000 ) ) # The message can be serialized to bytes raw_bytes = msg.serialise(serial=1) ``` -------------------------------- ### Subscribe to D-Bus Signals Source: https://context7.com/takluyver/jeepney/llms.txt Filter incoming messages to wait for specific signals using MatchRule and connection filtering. ```python from collections import deque from jeepney import DBusAddress from jeepney.bus_messages import MatchRule, message_bus from jeepney.io.blocking import open_dbus_connection, Proxy # Define the signal source notifications = DBusAddress( '/org/freedesktop/Notifications', bus_name='org.freedesktop.Notifications', interface='org.freedesktop.Notifications' ) conn = open_dbus_connection(bus='SESSION') # Create a match rule for the signal match_rule = MatchRule( type='signal', interface=notifications.interface, member='NotificationClosed', path=notifications.object_path ) # Register the match with the message bus bus_proxy = Proxy(message_bus, conn) bus_proxy.AddMatch(match_rule) # Set up filter and wait for matching signal with conn.filter(match_rule, bufsize=10) as queue: print("Waiting for notification close signal...") # Blocks until a matching signal arrives signal_msg = conn.recv_until_filtered(queue, timeout=30.0) notification_id, reason = signal_msg.body reasons = {1: 'expired', 2: 'dismissed', 3: 'closed by app'} print(f"Notification {notification_id} closed: {reasons.get(reason, 'unknown')}") conn.close() ``` -------------------------------- ### Notifications Interface Source: https://gitlab.com/takluyver/jeepney/-/blob/master/docs/integrate.md Defines the methods available for the D-Bus Notifications interface. ```APIDOC ## Notifications Interface This class provides methods to interact with the `org.freedesktop.Notifications` D-Bus interface. ### Methods #### Notify Sends a desktop notification. - **app_name** (str) - The name of the application sending the notification. - **id** (int) - The ID of the notification to replace (0 for a new notification). - **icon** (str) - Path or name of the icon to display. - **summary** (str) - The title of the notification. - **body** (str) - The main text content of the notification. - **actions** (list) - A list of actions that can be performed on the notification. - **hints** (dict) - A dictionary of hints for customizing the notification display. - **expire_timeout** (int) - The time in milliseconds before the notification expires (-1 for default). #### CloseNotification Closes a previously displayed notification. - **id** (int) - The ID of the notification to close. #### GetCapabilities Retrieves the capabilities of the notification server. #### GetServerInformation Retrieves information about the notification server. ``` -------------------------------- ### DBusAddress Class Source: https://context7.com/takluyver/jeepney/llms.txt Defines the target object and interface for D-Bus messages. ```APIDOC ## DBusAddress ### Description Identifies the target object and interface for D-Bus messages by combining the object path, bus name, and interface name. ### Parameters - **object_path** (string) - Required - The path to the D-Bus object. - **bus_name** (string) - Required - The destination bus name. - **interface** (string) - Required - The interface name. ``` -------------------------------- ### SASL Authentication for D-Bus Source: https://gitlab.com/takluyver/jeepney/-/blob/master/docs/api/auth.md When setting up a socket for D-Bus, SASL authentication is required before sending D-Bus messages. This protocol is distinct from D-Bus itself. Jeepney implements a subset of SASL, sufficient for its integration layer. ```APIDOC ## SASL Authentication for D-Bus ### Description This section details the SASL authentication process required for D-Bus socket connections using Jeepney. It is a text-based protocol separate from D-Bus. ### Method N/A (Protocol description) ### Endpoint N/A (Protocol description) ### Parameters N/A ### Request Example N/A ### Response N/A ``` -------------------------------- ### new_error Source: https://context7.com/takluyver/jeepney/llms.txt Constructs an error response message. ```APIDOC ## new_error ### Description Creates an error message in response to a failed method call. ### Parameters - **incoming_call** (Message) - Required - The original method call message. - **error_name** (string) - Required - The D-Bus error name. - **signature** (string) - Optional - Signature of error details. - **args** (tuple) - Optional - Error details. ``` -------------------------------- ### Parse Incoming D-Bus Data Source: https://context7.com/takluyver/jeepney/llms.txt Use the Parser class to process raw bytes from a socket into D-Bus messages. The parser buffers incomplete data and supports tracking required bytes for file descriptor handling. ```python from jeepney import Parser, Message, HeaderFields # Create a parser instance parser = Parser() # Feed raw data as it arrives (e.g., from a socket) # The parser buffers incomplete messages raw_data = b'...' # Data from socket.recv() parser.add_data(raw_data) # Try to get complete messages while True: msg = parser.get_next_message() if msg is None: break # Need more data # Process the message print(f"Message type: {msg.header.message_type}") print(f"Serial: {msg.header.serial}") # Access header fields if HeaderFields.sender in msg.header.fields: print(f"Sender: {msg.header.fields[HeaderFields.sender]}") if HeaderFields.member in msg.header.fields: print(f"Method/Signal: {msg.header.fields[HeaderFields.member]}") # Access body data print(f"Body: {msg.body}") # Alternative: feed() returns a list of completed messages messages = parser.feed(more_data) for msg in messages: print(msg.body) # For FD-aware parsing, track how much data to read bytes_needed = parser.bytes_desired() # Read exactly this much for FD handling ``` -------------------------------- ### Construct Signal Messages Source: https://context7.com/takluyver/jeepney/llms.txt The `new_signal` function creates broadcast signal messages for event notifications.
