Pidgin, Dbus And Python Help Please

[gnounc]

[uPDATED]

Almost all of this code has been tested as working in chunks.

anything that doesnt work is likely down to bad syntax, and so far the only thing

I can peg as not working is the callbacks at the bottom.

I think this has something to do with me trying to call a class, because I had it working

with regular functions.

also if anyone knows how to retrieve buddy icons over dbus in pidgin, thats the last thing I dont have working.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

 
#!/usr/bin/env python
import os, gtk, pygtk, dbus, gobject
from dbus.mainloop.glib import DBusGMainLoop
dbus.mainloop.glib.DBusGMainLoop(set_as_default=True)


bus = dbus.SessionBus()
obj = bus.get_object("im.pidgin.purple.PurpleService", "/im/pidgin/purple/PurpleObject")
purple = dbus.Interface(obj, "im.pidgin.purple.PurpleInterface")


def quit_cb(widget, data = None):
    if data:
        data.set_visible(False)
    gtk.main_quit()

def popup_menu_cb(widget, button, time, data = None):
    if button == 3:
        if data:
            data.show_all()
            data.popup(None, None, None, 3, time)




class buddy:
        def __init__(self, buddy, icon='offline.png'):
                self.buddy = buddy
                self.icon = icon
                statusIcon = gtk.StatusIcon()
                menu = gtk.Menu()
                menuItem = gtk.ImageMenuItem(gtk.STOCK_QUIT)
                menu.append(menuItem)  
                statusIcon.connect('popup-menu', popup_menu_cb, menu)
                statusIcon.set_visible(True)
                menuItem.connect('activate', quit_cb, statusIcon)



        def online(icon):
                statusIcon.set_from_file(icon)
                statusIcon.set_tooltip('Online')


        def offline():

                statusIcon.set_from_file('offline.png')
                statusIcon.set_tooltip('Offline')

        setIcon(icon)




try:
        f = open('buddies.cfg')
        try:
                for line in f.readlines():
                        buddy(line)
        finally:
                f.close()

### right now it doesnt grab buddy icon from anywhere...connect the proper callback to the class buddy
## to make it grab buddy icon from pidgin properly
### not sure if buddy.online/buddy.offline is the proper way to use those callbacks, but i think it is.
### also not sure if callbacks will trample over the icons made by the buddy list, or if they will run twice..
## not sure how to make it cooperate if not

##### and lastly, ffs; remember to drop the hardcoded filepaths!!!

bus.add_signal_receiver(buddy.online, dbus_interface="im.pidgin.purple.PurpleInterface", signal_name="BuddySignedOn")
bus.add_signal_receiver(buddy.offline, dbus_interface="im.pidgin.purple.PurpleInterface", signal_name="BuddySignedOff")
bus.add_signal_receiver(quit_cb, dbus_interface="im.pidgin.purple.PurpleInterface", signal_name="AccountSignedOff")


gtk.main()
