Python-tdbus is a simple ("trivial") python interface for D-BUS. It builds directly on top of libdbus and has no other dependencies. Some benefits of python-tdbus with respect to the standard dbus-python [1] Python bindings:

• The code is extremely simple. Python-tdbus is < 2.000 lines of code (C and Python), while dbus-python contains > 15.000 lines of code.
• Event loop integration is not required for sending and receiving signals (if you can afford to block).
• Includes `gevent' [2] event loop integration.
• Event loop integration can be achieved in Python code rather than in C.
• Uses native Python types for method and signal arguments, driven by a simple format string.
• Provides a more "correct" object model (IMHO) where there's separate Dispatcher and Connection objects, instead of putting dispatching functionality into the connection object.

$ python setup.py build # python setup.py install

or using pip

$ pip install python-tdbus

Python-tdbus should work with Python 2.7 and later.
