It provides three interface layers: a high-level client API for calling methods and listening to signals on DBus services, a high-level service API for exporting DBus interfaces with decorated methods and properties, and a low-level message API for direct DBus message handling. The library supports both asyncio and GLib main loops, making it suitable for GUI applications and long-running services.\n\nThe package has no runtime dependencies and targets modern Python (3.6+) with full type hints. It aims to improve on older DBus libraries by avoiding type guessing, providing complete DBus type system support, and offering nonblocking I/O suitable for responsive applications. Common use cases include controlling media players via MPRIS, automating desktop environments, and building custom DBus services for system integration.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need DBus integration on Linux. The library is stable, dependency-free, and well-documented. However, be aware it is dormant\u2014no active maintenance since July 2021\u2014so expect no updates for new Python versions or DBus protocol changes. Suitable for stable use cases; risky if you need ongoing support or compatibility with future Python releases."},"id":"dbus-next","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/dbus-next","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/dbus-next.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/dbus-next/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2021-07-25","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"dbus-next","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A zero-dependency DBus library for Python with asyncio support"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":411567,"position":6856,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.2.3"}
