I've got a control panel app that must have a constant network connection in
order to function (button press -> UDP packet). For the moment I've faked
up a wrapper script that uses a preload'd ping, but it's very lame and
doesn't work consistently, which is not good in this situation.
I'm trying to use the libosso bindings to connect, and eventually listen to
status_changed so I can reconnect and reinitialize my network sockets. It's
not even coming close to working ;-(
Figuring the bindings would be better, I started by grabbing the latest
pymaemo2.5. Then I tried the following script:
=====
#!/usr/bin/env python
import osso
import gtk
osso_c = osso.Context("icconnect", "0.0.1", False)
osso_rpc = osso.Rpc(osso_c)
try:
retval = osso_rpc.rpc_run(
"com.nokia.icd",
"/com/nokia/icd",
"com.nokia.icd",
"connect",
("omegacs.net",0),
True,
True)
except Exception, inst:
print "failed with exception "+repr(inst)
else:
print "retval is %s" % retval
=====
I get the following error:
failed with exception SystemError('error return without exception set',)
AFAICT this is an internal Python error that means the bindings have a bug.
OTOH, calling "disconnect" with ("omegacs.net",) returns with "omegacs.net"
and no error, but does nothing.
This is rather critical to my application, and any other potential Python
program, so I would appreciate hints as to either what I'm doing wrong, or
what in pymaemo needs to be worked on so it can function.
As a side note, I tried to use the DBus bindings directly, which also failed
miserably. I was told that Maemo's DBus doesn't support introspection, yet
the python bindings will not function without introspection, making the
bindings completely worthless. Is this really true?
