Hello,
First of all, does anyone know whether dbus will allow be to do 3 things:
1. query whether or not there is a dvd drive.
2. query whether or not there is a blank disc in it.
3. query what it's capacity is.
If I'm barking up the wrong tree, what should I be considering instead ?
If I am thinking along the right lines, then I'd be grateful for any links
to any guides or tutorials relating to dbus. I have tried looking and
found nothing uesful yet, and I will continue to do so, but I was hoping
someone could help.
Thanks for reading :-)

I've found some info at: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus
but even still, additional info can't do any harm, especially if I
struggle to make sense of the information at the above location. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hello, I know this isn't really a python centric question, but I'm seeking
help from my fellow python programmers. I've been learning python for the
past year and a half, and I still haven't written anything substantial nor
have I found an existing project which blows my hair back. Python is my
first language, and I plan on learning lisp within the next week but
before I do so I'd like to write something meaningful, does anyone have

However, if anyone knows of simpler or perhaps just easier to follow
articles online or knows that I'm barking up the wrong tree, your help
will still be appriciated.
Meanwhile I'm off to RTFM to see if I can make sense of it or need more
help :-)

Hi:
http://web.newsguy.com/crcarl/python/hexl.py

experimentation. I chose a hex line editor. I may do a hex screen
editor once this is done, if I feel like playing with the curses module.
Or move straight to wxPython.
This is unfinished, and is really just a hex viewer at this point. It

Hi All,
I have a program with a Dbus interface, and would like to allow remote users
to use telnet ( or something ) to log in, and run predefined commands
against the Dbus interface, return the results, and allow the user to log
off.
Any examples / help would be great.
Thanks

Seeking feedback from group members on a design I'm looking at using
in a project.
I've created an XML-RPC server and a number of Daemons, the idea is
that the XML-RPC server gets a request from a user interface of some
sort and then sends data to the Daemon processes to do work. Daemons
will also need to feed back task information to the XML-RPC server.
For the communications between the Daemons and XML-RPC server I was
thinking of...
