Thanks a ton Xavier, for the reply. Even I had the uneasy feeling, since the 'GetMembers' had the semantics different from the other two. Looking at the "Connection_Interface_Contact_List", its semantics seem to be in line with the other two.
However, I am getting the following key-error, when I use the above :: #################################################################################### Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dbus/connection.py", line 586, in msg_reply_handler reply_handler(*message.get_args_list(**get_args_opts)) File "demos/Telepathy/telepathy_test.py", line 371, in __get_self_handle_cb self._connection[CONNECTION_INTERFACE_CONTACT_LIST].GetContactListAttributes( File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/telepathy/client/interfacefactory.py", line 74, in __getitem__ raise KeyError(name) KeyError: 'org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Connection.Interface.ContactList.DRAFT2' ^CTraceback (most recent call last): File "demos/Telepathy/telepathy_test.py", line 670, in <module> gobject.MainLoop().run() KeyboardInterrupt #################################################################################### Following are the telepathy-packages on my system :: #################################################################################### [ajay@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa | grep telepathy telepathy-mission-control-5.6.0-2.fc14.i686 telepathy-gabble-0.10.3-1.fc14.i686 telepathy-idle-0.1.6-1.fc14.i686 telepathy-salut-0.4.0-1.fc14.i686 telepathy-glib-0.11.16-1.fc14.i686 python-telepathy-0.15.18-1.fc14.noarch telepathy-logger-0.1.5-1.fc14.i686 telepathy-glib-devel-0.11.16-1.fc14.i686 telepathy-butterfly-0.5.14-1.fc14.noarch telepathy-farsight-0.0.14-2.fc14.i686 telepathy-glib-vala-0.11.16-1.fc14.i686 telepathy-haze-0.4.0-1.fc14.i686 telepathy-filesystem-0.0.2-1.fc12.noarch #################################################################################### Which (minimum) package(s) do I need to upgrade, so that "CONNECTION_INTERFACE_CONTACT_LIST" can be queries upon?
