dbus.lowlevel module

Low-level interface to D-Bus.

class dbus.lowlevel.ErrorMessage(reply_to: Message, error_name: str, error_message: str or None)

Bases: Message

An error message.

append(*args, **kwargs)

Set the message’s arguments from the positional parameter, according to the signature given by the signature keyword parameter.

The following type conversions are supported:

D-Bus (in signature)

Python

boolean (b)

any object (via bool())

byte (y)

string of length 1 any integer

any integer type

any integer

double (d)

any float

object path

anything with a __dbus_object_path__ attribute

string, signature, object path

str (must be UTF-8) or unicode

dict (a{…})

any mapping

array (a…)

any iterable over appropriate objects

struct ((…))

any iterable over appropriate objects

variant

any object above (guess type as below)

Here ‘any integer’ means anything on which int() or long() (as appropriate) will work, except for basestring subclasses. ‘Any float’ means anything on which float() will work, except for basestring subclasses.

If there is no signature, guess from the arguments using the static method Message.guess_signature.

copy() -> Message (or subclass)

Deep-copy the message, resetting the serial number to zero.

get_allow_interactive_authorization(bool) → None

Get allow interactive authorization flag.

get_args_list(**kwargs) → list

Return the message’s arguments. Keyword arguments control the translation of D-Bus types to Python:

Keywords
byte_arraysbool

If true, convert arrays of byte (signature ‘ay’) into dbus.ByteArray, a str subclass. In practice, this is usually what you want, but it’s off by default for consistency.

If false (default), convert them into a dbus.Array of Bytes.

Most of the type mappings should be fairly obvious:
