http://dbus.freedesktop.org/releases/dbus-python/dbus-python-1.0.0.tar.gz

Reproducible: Always




D-Bus Python Bindings 1.0.0
========================================

The "never trust a .0 release?" release.

Dependencies:

* libdbus 1.4 or later is now required.

* Python 2.6 or later is now required. If Python 3 is used, it must be
  version 3.2 or later.

* GNU make (or, at your own risk, another make with the GNU $(patsubst)
  extension) is now required.

API changes:

* dbus_bindings, which was never meant to be public API and has been
  deprecated for nearly 5 years, has finally been removed.

* The repr() of every dbus-python object is now unicode.

* The Python 3 API is not the same as the Python 2 API; see PY3PORT.rst
  for details.

Enhancements:

* Python 3 compatibility (fd.o #26420, Barry Warsaw)

* MethodCallMessage and SignalMessage now have a more useful repr()
  (Barry Warsaw)

Fixes:

* OOM while appending a unicode object to a message no longer leaks a string
  (Barry Warsaw)

* If libdbus somehow gives us invalid UTF-8, don't crash (Barry Warsaw)

* Fix rst2html failure in non-UTF-8 locales (Alexandre Rostovtsev)

Comment 2 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2012-01-26 03:29:52 UTC

dev-python/dbus-python-1.0.0 actually works with Python 3.1. It is sufficient to change 1 line in a test to make test suite pass with Python 3.1. Fixed properly in Progress Overlay.
