I'm very green in dbus programming. I pulled the code underneath out of
trackergui.py and it seems to work. Could you give me a hint on how to
fetch stats (ie owner or filesize)?
import sys,os,dbus,re
#from mainform import *
class TrackerClient:
def __init__(self):
bus = dbus.SessionBus()
obj =
bus.get_object('org.freedesktop.Tracker','/org/freedesktop/tracker')
#self.tracker = dbus.Interface(obj,
'org.freedesktop.Tracker')
self.keywords_iface = dbus.Interface(obj,
'org.freedesktop.Tracker.Keywords')
self.search_iface = dbus.Interface(obj,
'org.freedesktop.Tracker.Search')
self.files_iface = dbus.Interface(obj,
'org.freedesktop.Tracker.Files')
#self.version = self.tracker.GetVersion()
#Self service eheheh
#self.services = self.tracker.GetServices(True)
self.services = ['Files','Development
Files','Documents','Images','Music','Text Files','Videos']
self.query_id = 0
def search(self,text,service='Files',offset=0,max_hits=-1):
self.returnedfiles =
self.search_iface.TextDetailed(1,service,text,offset,max_hits)
if len(self.returnedfiles) > 0:
return self.returnedfiles
else:
self.on_tracker_error("Nothing files found")
return 0
