This package has been deprecated for a very long time (a decade?).
Nothing should be using it anymore. Either use GDBus via PyGObject, or
another D-Bus client library instead. If anybody wants to take this
package, I'm sure that could be arranged. Working out a retirement plan
would also be a good idea, though if there are too many rdeps it might
not be practical.
I don't think this was the library that was deprecated either. I'm
pretty sure that was the libdbus-glib library, though this is
unfortunately built on top of that.
From https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/dbus/dbus-python/blob/master/NEWS:
"The deprecated dbus-glib library is no longer required. A bundled copy
of its main loop integration code is included instead."
We are using dbus-python in some of our packages (mostly test suite for
UDisks and some helper scripts etc.). From the git repo it looks like
the project is actively maintained and latest release is less than month
old so I think there is no reason to retire dbus-python.
If nobody wants to maintain this package I can do that. It's definitely
easier than rewriting our code to something else.
I agree that retiring this is premature. Thank you, Vojta, for volunteering.
Ray, could you please give this package to to FAS user "vtrefny"?
We can help with Python related problems if @python-sig group is added, although
I am afraid that adding yet another group would simply increase the diffusion of
responsibility.
