[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] accessing to the ICD with dbus and python

[From: Fabio Forno]

Hi
I'm trying to use the ICD daemon from within a python progam. In order
to start I made simple program asking some info about the present wlan
connection.

if I use the synchronous rpc interface with the command

ret = osso_c.rpc_run("com.nokia.icd", "/com/nokia/icd",
"com.nokia.icd", "get_ipinfo", wait_reply = True, use_system_bus=True)

I get an aswer, but in ret it contains only the first return
parameter, the name of the connection, instead of all the four
parameters from the specs:

Return Parameters: 1. string - Name of the current IAP
                   2. string - IP address of the interface
                   3. string - Netmask
                   4. stinrg - IP address of the default gateway

If I try to use the async interface, I've to problems:
1) I don't know how to access the system bus , since there's no
use_system_bus_flag
2) the call leads to a seg fault
osso_c.rpc_async_run("com.nokia.icd", "/com/nokia/icd",
            "com.nokia.icd", "get_ipinfo", callback = cb)

any idea? thanks
