[maemo-developers] any way to get incoming call number to python?

[From: Aldon Hynes]

I would suggest running dbus-monitor and calling your cellphone to see what
happens.  I did this, capturing the output to a file and got the output
listed below.

It appears as if the strings org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel.InitiatorID
and org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel.TargetID both contain the incoming
phone number.

I have not worked with python and dbus, but it seems like this should
contain the clues necessary to get the needed information.

I did, however, also look at the database
/home/user/.rtcom-eventlogger/el.db  This is an sqlite3 database that can be
queried after the fact from Python to receive information about phone calls.
I talked a little bit about this in my blog post

#N900 mbarcode, python, sms and sqlite3

Hope this helps.

  Hi

  I am starting to develop an app to maemo, my friend is doing similar one
to nokia s60 and he told this is the thing one must start with.

  Is getting incoming call number doable with dbus? if not, is there other
ways? Links to any documents relevant are also appreciated.
