[Orbit-python-list] bonobo-python, get_object, and wrapping

[Thomas M. <ma...@ma...>]

Hi list. I am currently playing around with orbit-python, and decided to
have a look at the bonobo bindings, and as a small project to get
started I wanted to play a bit with Evolution through the bonobo/corba
interface.

Now, my approach to this would be writing something like

    import bonobo
    shell = bonobo.get_object("OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Shell",
                              "IDL:GNOME/Evolution/Shell:1.0")

and then start accessing the evolution shell through 'shell'. The
problem then is, that bonobo.get_object gives me a CORBA.Object, and not
an object wrapping with an Evolution/Shell interface. Am I on the right
track here? If so, how do I actually access the shell-interface? If not,
how can I get access to the evolution shell by other means?

I am using orbit-python 0.3 and bonobo-python from CVS, btw.

Cheers,
	/mailund

Don't forget to import Bonobo too (note the upper case B).

Cheers,
Jason.

hmm...that, in itself, doesn't quite do it form me. Is there something
else I need to import or initialize? The program I'm running right now
is this one:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import bonobo
import Bonobo

shell = bonobo.get_object("OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Shell",
                          "IDL:GNOME/Evolution/Shell:1.0")
print 'shell', shell, dir(shell.__class__)


the output shows that 'shell' is a CORBA.Object, and that none of the
evolution/shell methods are available.

instead of Bonobo.

Oh, right.  Sorry. :)

from GNOME import Evolution

You're fetching an Evolution CORBA object, of course, so you need to
import the IDL for that.

That should do it.  Otherwise I'll let Johan figure it out. :D

Cheers,
Jason.

That's the magic I needed.  Thanks a bunch.
