Well... Wad needed it for a python activity. And even if you need to write it in another language, the example is useful for illustrative reasons. It would have been the same if I pointed someone to a C implementation, when he needed it in python or javascript. > > > dep on dbus.

But that would take you n years, where n is a very large number. Let's stick to the specific case, I don't think the use of dbus here has any user visible performance effect. > btw, in the code marco pointed to: > > http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/sugar/repos/mainline/blobs/master/src/jarabe/model/screen.py > it looks like there's a missing assignment to _ohm_service (i.e., to > save the connection so it doesn't need to be recreated each time). am i > mis-reading? Ouch, please ticket it, thanks. (dev.sugarlabs.org). Marco _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
