Hi,
I wrote a small application connecting to an application and sending
commands to it.
Currently I'm using the methods
import dcop
client = dcop.DCOPClient()
client.registerAs(appname)
ama = dcopclient.rc = dcop.DCOPRef("amarok", "player")
controlling the app works now fine with for example
ama.call('playPause()')
What I am missing is to have a save startup.
I'd like to know whether my dcop application is started and
ready to be connected to:
what I am doing currently is this running the shell command 'dcop'
and check it's result
def can_connect_to_amarok():
cmd = "dcop amarok player 2> /dev/null > /dev/null ; echo $?"
l = os.popen(cmd).readlines()
return l[0].strip() == '0'
however I guess, that the module is capable to do the same.
Unfortunaltely I had some difficulty googling for any examples
pydoc dcop mentions that the built in function exists, but doesn't list
its parameters.
I would also be interested in getting a list of methods of a given
application/module
currently I also use the shell function
dcop application module
to get the results.
thanks in advance for any suggestions to get rid of my 'pipe call'
