python-dbusmock 0.6 released

Mrz 20

Gepostet von pitti in debian, ubuntu | Keine Kommentare

I just pushed out a new python-dbusmock release 0.6.

Calling a method on the mock now emits a MethodCalled signal on the org.freedesktop.DBus.Mock interface. In some cases this is easier to track than parsing the mock’s log or using GetMethodCalls. Thanks to Lars Uebernickel for this.

DBusMockObject.AddTemplate() and DBusTestCase.spawn_server_template() can now load local templates from your own project by specifying a path to a *.py file as template name. Thanks to Lucas De Marchi for this feature.

I also wrote a quite comprehensive template for systemd’s logind. It stubs out the power management functionality as well as user/seat/session objects, and is convincing enough for loginctl. Some bits like AttachDevice is missing, as this sounds unlikely to be required for D-BUS mock tests, but please let me know if you need anything else.

The mock processes now terminate automatically if their connected D-BUS goes down, as advertised in the documentation.

You can get the new tarball from Launchpad, and I uploaded it to Debian experimental now.

Enjoy!

PyGObject 3.7.92 released

Mrz 18

Gepostet von pitti in ubuntu | Keine Kommentare

I just released a new PyGObject for GNOME 3.7.92. This fixes a couple of crashes and marshalling errors again, but most importantly got a change to automatically mute the PyGIDeprecationWarnings for stable versions. Please run pythonX.X with the -Wd option to still be able to see them.

We got through all our bugs that were milestoned for GNOME 3.8 and don’t want to or plan to introduce any major behavioural change at this point, so barring catastrophes this is what will be in GNOME 3.8.0.

Thanks to all contributors!

  • Fix stack smasher when marshaling enums as a vfunc return value (Simon Feltman) (#637832)
  • Change base class of PyGIDeprecationWarning based on minor version (Simon Feltman) (#696011)
  • autogen.sh: Source gnome-autogen to fix out of source builddir (Alban Browaeys) (#694889)
  • pygtkcompat: Make gdk.Window.get_geometry return tuple of 5 (Simon Feltman)
  • pygtkcompat: Initialize hint to zero in set_geometry_hints (Simon Feltman)
  • Remove incorrect bounds check with property helper flags (Simon Feltman)
  • Fix crash when setting property of type object to an incorrect type (Simon Feltman) (#695420)
  • Remove skipping of object property tests (Simon Feltman) (#695420)
  • Give more informative error when setting property to incorrect type (Simon Feltman) (#695420)

PyGObject 3.7.91.1 released

Mrz 5

I just found out that PyGObject 3.7.91 as released yesterday breaks GEdit plugins. I just pushed out 3.7.91.1 to unbreak this again, sorry about that!

Automatically generating documentation from GIR files

Mrz 5

Gepostet von pitti in debian, ubuntu | 9 Kommentare

Many libraries build a GObject introspection repository (*.gir) these days which allows the library to be used from many scripting (Python, JavaScript, Perl, etc.) and other (e. g. Vala) languages without the need for manually writing bindings for each of those.

One issue that I hear surprisingly often is “there is zero documentation for those bindings”. Tools for building documentation out of a .gir have existed for a long time already, just far too many people seem to not know about them.

For example, to build Yelp XML documentation out of the libnotify bindings for Python:

  $ g-ir-doc-tool --language=Python -o /tmp/notify-doc /usr/share/gir-1.0/Notify-0.7.gir

Then you can call yelp /tmp/notify-doc to browse the documentation. You can of course also use the standard Mallard tools to convert them to HTML for sticking them on a website:

  $ cd /tmp/notify-doc
  $ yelp-build html .

Admittedly they are far from pretty, and there are still lots of refinements that should be done for the documentation itself (like adding language specific examples) and also for the generated result (prettification, dynamic search, and what not), but it’s certainly far from “nothign”, and a good start.

If you are interested in working on this, please show up in #introspection or discuss it on bugzilla, desktop-devel-list@, or the library specific lists/bug trackers.

PyGObject 3.7.91 released.

Mrz 4

Gepostet von pitti in ubuntu | 1 Kommentar

I just released a new PyGObject for GNOME 3.7.91. This brings some marshalling fixes, plugs tons of memory leaks, and now raises a Python DeprecationWarning when your code calls a method which is marked as deprecated in the typelib. Please note that Python hides them by default, so if you are interested in those you need to run python with the -Wd option.

Thanks to all contributors!
