pyudev.glib module — pyudev 0.22.0 documentation

# pyudev.glib module

Glib integration.

`MonitorObserver` integrates device monitoring into the Glib mainloop by turing device events into Glib signals.

`glib` and `gobject` from PyGObject must be available when importing this module. PyGtk is not required.

New in version 0.7.

class pyudev.glib.GUDevMonitorObserver(monitor)

  Bases: `Mock`, `pyudev.glib._ObserverMixin`

  An observer for device events integrating into the `glib` mainloop.

  Deprecated since version 0.17: Will be removed in 1.0. Use `MonitorObserver` instead.

class pyudev.glib.MonitorObserver(monitor)

  Bases: `Mock`, `pyudev.glib._ObserverMixin`

  An observer for device events integrating into the `glib` mainloop.

  This class inherits `GObject` to turn device events into glib signals.

      >>> from pyudev import Context, Monitor
      >>> from pyudev.glib import MonitorObserver
      >>> context = Context()
      >>> monitor = Monitor.from_netlink(context)
      >>> monitor.filter_by(subsystem='input')
      >>> observer = MonitorObserver(monitor)
      >>> def device_event(observer, device):
      ...     print('event {0} on device {1}'.format(device.action, device))
      >>> observer.connect('device-event', device_event)
      >>> monitor.start()

  This class is a child of `gobject.GObject`.
