Class Details¶

class UPowerGlib.Client(**kwargs)¶

Bases:: GObject.Object, Gio.AsyncInitable, Gio.Initable
Abstract:: No
Structure:: UPowerGlib.ClientClass

classmethod new()¶

Returns:: a new UPowerGlib.Client object, or None on failure.
Return type:: UPowerGlib.Client

Creates a new UPowerGlib.Client object. If connecting to upowerd on D-Bus fails, this returns None and prints out a warning with the error message. Consider using UPowerGlib.Client.new_full() instead which allows you to handle errors and canceling long operations yourself.

New in version 0.9.0.

classmethod new_async(cancellable, callback, *user_data)¶

Parameters:

cancellable (Gio.Cancellable or None) – a Gio.Cancellable or None
callback (Gio.AsyncReadyCallback or None) – a Gio.AsyncReadyCallback to call when the request is satisfied
user_data (object or None) – the data to pass to callback

Asynchronously creates a new UPowerGlib.Client object.

This is an asynchronous failable function.

New in version 0.99.14.

classmethod new_finish(res)¶

Parameters:: res (Gio.AsyncResult) – a Gio.AsyncResult obtained from the Gio.AsyncReadyCallback passed to UPowerGlib.Client.new_async()
Raises:: GLib.Error
Returns:: a UPowerGlib.Client or None if error is set. Free with GObject.Object.unref().
Return type:: UPowerGlib.Client

Finishes an operation started with UPowerGlib.Client.new_async().

New in version 0.99.14.

classmethod new_full(cancellable)¶

Parameters:: cancellable (Gio.Cancellable or None) – A Gio.Cancellable or None.
Raises:: GLib.Error
Returns:: a new UPowerGlib.Client object, or None on failure.
Return type:: UPowerGlib.Client

Creates a new UPowerGlib.Client object. If connecting to upowerd on D-Bus fails, this returns None and sets error.

New in version 0.99.5.

get_critical_action()¶

Returns:: the action name, or None on error.
Return type:: str

Gets a string representing the configured critical action, depending on availability.

New in version 1.0.

get_daemon_version()¶

Returns:: string containing the daemon version, e.g. 008
Return type:: str

Get UPower daemon version.

New in version 0.9.0.

get_devices()¶

Returns:: an array of UPowerGlib.Device objects or None on error, free with g_ptr_array_unref()
Return type:: [UPowerGlib.Device]

Get a copy of the device objects. This function does not set the free function for the GLib.PtrArray so you need use GObject.Object.unref on all elements when you are finished with the array.

New in version 0.9.0.

Deprecated since version 0.99.8.

get_devices2()¶

Returns:: an array of UPowerGlib.Device objects or None on error, free with g_ptr_array_unref()
Return type:: [UPowerGlib.Device]

Get a copy of the device objects.

New in version 0.99.8.

get_devices_async(cancellable, callback, *user_data)¶

Parameters:

cancellable (Gio.Cancellable or None) – a Gio.Cancellable or None
callback (Gio.AsyncReadyCallback or None) – a Gio.AsyncReadyCallback to call when the request is satisfied
user_data (object or None) – the data to pass to callback

Asynchronously fetches the list of UPowerGlib.Device objects.

New in version 0.99.14.

get_devices_finish(res)¶

Parameters:: res (Gio.AsyncResult) – a Gio.AsyncResult obtained from the Gio.AsyncReadyCallback passed to UPowerGlib.Client.get_devices_async()
Raises:: GLib.Error
Returns:: an array of UPowerGlib.Device objects or None on error.
Return type:: [UPowerGlib.Device]

Finishes an operation started with UPowerGlib.Client.get_devices_async().

get_display_device()¶

Returns:: a UPowerGlib.Device object, or None on error.
Return type:: UPowerGlib.Device

Get the composite display device.

New in version 1.0.

get_lid_is_closed()¶

Returns:: True if lid is closed or False otherwise.
Return type:: bool

Get whether the laptop lid is closed.

New in version 0.9.0.

get_lid_is_present()¶

Returns:: True if the machine has a laptop lid
Return type:: bool

Get whether a laptop lid is present on this machine.

New in version 0.9.2.

get_on_battery()¶

Returns:: True if the system is currently running on battery, False otherwise.
Return type:: bool

Get whether the system is running on battery power.

New in version 0.9.0.

do_device_added(device) virtual¶

Parameters:: device (UPowerGlib.Device) –

do_device_removed(object_path) virtual¶

Parameters:: object_path (str) –
