I am trying to get pyzeroconf (http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyzeroconf)
running on my machine but having trouble... Running the Zeroconf.py file
seems to register the service, but is unable to find it.
You should be running avahi.. it also comes python support.
Here's an example that registers a CNAME that points to your hostname (that
avahi itself publishes)
#! /usr/bin/env python
import avahi, dbus
from encodings.idna import ToASCII
# Got these from /usr/include/avahi-common/defs.h
CLASS_IN = 0x01
TYPE_CNAME = 0x05
TTL = 60
def publish_cname(cname):
bus = dbus.SystemBus()
server = dbus.Interface(bus.get_object(avahi.DBUS_NAME,
avahi.DBUS_PATH_SERVER),
avahi.DBUS_INTERFACE_SERVER)
group = dbus.Interface(bus.get_object(avahi.DBUS_NAME,
server.EntryGroupNew()),
avahi.DBUS_INTERFACE_ENTRY_GROUP)
rdata = createRR(server.GetHostNameFqdn())
cname = encode_dns(cname)
group.AddRecord(avahi.IF_UNSPEC, avahi.PROTO_UNSPEC, dbus.UInt32(0),
cname, CLASS_IN, TYPE_CNAME, TTL, rdata)
group.Commit()
def encode_dns(name):
out = []
for part in name.split('.'):
if len(part) == 0: continue
out.append(ToASCII(part))
return '.'.join(out)
def createRR(name):
out = []
for part in name.split('.'):
if len(part) == 0: continue
out.append(chr(len(part)))
out.append(ToASCII(part))
out.append('\0')
return ''.join(out)
if __name__ == '__main__':
import time, sys, locale
for each in sys.argv[1:]:
name = unicode(each, locale.getpreferredencoding())
publish_cname(name)
try:
while 1: time.sleep(60)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
print "Exiting"
