- Requirements
- ------------
- telepathy-python requires dbus-python version >= 0.71; version >= 0.80 is
- recommended.
-
- Using an uninstalled version
- ----------------------------
- Because telepathy-python contains generated code, the src directory
- is incomplete. To run this version of telepathy-python without installing it,
- you'll have to run ``python setup.py build`` and arrange for build/lib to be
- on your ``sys.path``, for instance:
-
- python setup.py build
- PYTHONPATH=$PWD/build/lib python examples/call.py a.account b@example.com
-
- (See ``examples/README`` for details of the .account files used by the
- examples.)
-
- Server Base Classes
- -------------------
- telepathy.server implements base classes and mixins for implementing all of
- the D-Bus interfaces in Telepathy. Many methods are abstract and they are
- intended to be overridden in mixins for the concrete implementations, but some
- perform housekeeping for you and maintain structures with some of the state
- necessary to answer Get* calls. The API for implementing managers needs some
- fixing really.
-
- Client Library
- --------------
- The client lib in telepathy.client has some base classes to help with
- implementing a client in python.
