new(mode:Gcr.SystemPrompterMode, prompt_type:GType) -> Gcr.SystemPrompter

Constructors

class SystemPrompter

classmethod new(mode: SystemPrompterMode, prompt_type: type) → SystemPrompter

Create a new system prompter service. This prompter won’t do anything unless you connect to its signals and show appropriate prompts.

If prompt_type is zero, then the new-prompt signal must be handled and return a valid prompt object implementing the Prompt interface.

If prompt_type is non-zero then the Type must implement the Prompt interface.

Parameters:

• mode – the mode for the prompt

• prompt_type – the gobject type for prompts created by this prompter

Methods

class SystemPrompter

get_mode() → SystemPrompterMode

Get the mode for this prompter.

Most system prompters only display one prompt at a time and therefore return SINGLE.

get_prompt_type() → type

Get the Type for prompts created by this prompter.

The returned Type will be a Prompt implementation.

get_prompting() → bool

Get whether prompting or not.

register(connection: DBusConnection) → None

Register this system prompter on the DBus connection.

This makes the prompter available for clients to call. The prompter will remain registered until unregister() is called, or the prompter is unreferenced.

Parameters:

connection – a DBus connection

unregister(wait: bool) → None

Unregister this system prompter on the DBus connection.

The prompter must have previously been registered with register().

If wait is set then this function will wait until all prompts have been closed or cancelled. This is usually only used by tests.

Parameters:

wait – whether to wait for closing prompts

Properties

class SystemPrompter

props.prompt_type: type

The Type for prompts created by this prompter. This must be a Prompt implementation.

props.prompting: bool

Whether the prompter is prompting or not.

Signals

class SystemPrompter.signals

new_prompt() → Prompt

Signal emitted to create a new prompt when needed.

The default implementation of this signal creates a prompt of the type get_prompt_type().
