cm is an object, but since D-Bus objects implement multiple interfaces we use the dictionary-style, getattr syntax to be able to specify which D-Bus interface we are making the method call on (this syntax is also used in Python for dictionary keys, which is a little more synonymous with what's going on here). This probably could be explain a little better in the book (it currently gets one sentence): http://people.collabora.co.uk/~danni/telepathy-book/sect.basics.language-bindings.html#sect.basics.dbus.language-bindings.python Basically, whatever interface a method, or signal comes from, you pass that as the key to the object. Hope this clears things up. --d -- Danielle Madeley Software Developer, Collabora Ltd.
