Class Details¶

class IBus.Factory(**kwargs)¶

Bases:: IBus.Service
Abstract:: No
Structure:: IBus.FactoryClass

An IBus.Factory is an IBus.Service that creates input method engine (IME) instance. It provides CreateEngine remote method, which creates an IME instance by name, and returns the D-Bus object path to IBus daemon.

see_also: IBus.Engine

classmethod new(connection)¶

Parameters:: connection (Gio.DBusConnection) – An Gio.DBusConnection.
Returns:: A newly allocated IBus.Factory.
Return type:: IBus.Factory

Creates a new IBus.Factory.

add_engine(engine_name, engine_type)¶

Parameters:

engine_name (str) – Name of an engine.
engine_type (GObject.GType) – GObject.GType of an engine.

Add an engine to the factory.

create_engine(engine_name)¶

Parameters:: engine_name (str) – Name of an engine.
Returns:: IBus.Engine with engine_name.
Return type:: IBus.Engine

Creates an IBus.Engine with engine_name.

do_create_engine(engine_name) virtual¶

Parameters:: engine_name (str) – Name of an engine.
Returns:: IBus.Engine with engine_name.
Return type:: IBus.Engine

Creates an IBus.Engine with engine_name.

Signal Details¶

IBus.Factory.signals.create_engine(factory, engine_name)¶

Signal Name:

create-engine

Flags:

RUN_LAST

Parameters:

factory (IBus.Factory) – The object which received the signal
engine_name (str) – the engine_name which received the signal

Returns:

An IBus.Engine

Return type:

IBus.Engine or None

The ::create-engine signal is a signal to create IBus.Engine with engine_name, which gets emitted when IBus.Factory received CreateEngine dbus method. The callback functions will be called until a callback returns a non-null object of IBus.Engine.
