Pythonic DBus library.
Changelog: https://github.com/LEW21/pydbus/releases
- Python 2.7+ - but works best on 3.4+ (help system is nicer there)
- PyGI (not packaged on pypi, you need to install it from your distribution's repository - it's usually called python-gi, python-gobject or pygobject)
- GLib 2.46+ and girepository 1.46+ (Ubuntu 16.04+) - for object publication support
