It's easy to call DBus from python, java and friends. There's no need to

need to look significantly different to provide the foundation for what
you provide there. And why? The callers you suggest already have solid
ways to call DBus. It's sssd/tevent that doesn't.
I agree with Stef here. Currently we have not planned bindings for those
languages for the simple library. The intended users with the simple
library are existing/legacy applications written in C which might be
happier with a "classical" interface. Due to the nature of the languages
I would expect that applications written in Ruby, Python or Java will
find it more easy to use the DBUS API directly.

+1 this is what we've envisioned from the start. The bindings would go
directly do the InfoPipe interface, that's also why we're spending so
much time on making them work as one would expect from a full DBus API,
with getsetters etc. But some users (like Nikos earlier on the list) just
wanted a very /simple/ get-key-value-pair API and this library can be it.

You lost me.
Who is the consumer of the library then other than one apache module?
The apache module calls DBus directly. I think the confusion comes from
the fact that the apache modules call /functions/ from the DBus API that
we developed while we're fleshing out the objects.
Right now, Pavel would use the library and IIRC Sumit would as well.
For what? OpenLMI? And for...?
Do we have a design page where it is clearly spelled out whom we are
targeting with this effort?
