Getting location in Python is really not very difficult:
# Start with getting position from GeoClue
bus = dbus.SessionBus()
# TODO: Get the GeoClue interface to use from
/schemas/apps/geoclue/position/defaultpath
# and /schemas/apps/geoclue/position/defaultserviceGConf keys
proxy_obj =
bus.get_object('org.foinse_project.geoclue.position.hostip',
'/org/foinse_project/geoclue/position/hostip')
geoclue_iface = dbus.Interface(proxy_obj,
'org.foinse_project.geoclue.position')
# Get the coordinates from the service
coordinates = geoclue_iface.current_position()
print "According to GeoClue you are in %s %s." % (coordinates[0],
coordinates[1])
This is a bit old code done for a maemo application, so it uses only
coordinate-based location (not civic as it could), and doesn't check
for appropriate backend to use from GeoClue's GConf (gconf support was
not available in maemo-python at that time).
So even with pure D-Bus this isn't much code. On top of this I've
understood the INdT guys are looking to make Python bindings.
