If you want to unit-test your library, wouldn't it be the right way to write an vdr-mockup which returns expected values for different scenarios so that the behaviour of your library is tested? A "real-life" vdr wouldn't be a good test case because you never know if you cover all cases. BTW, my plugin is called dbus2vdr. :) https://github.com/flensrocker/vdr-plugin-dbus2vdr I maintain a lib with a GDBus/GIO binding (actually just a written-down wrapper for gdbus-codegen and a bunch of examples as documentation how to us it): https://github.com/flensrocker/libdbus2vdr Someone actually has started a Python binding for it: https://github.com/seahawk1986/pydbus2vdr and a binding for restfulapi: https://github.com/seahawk1986/pyrestfulapi Regards, Lars. > > Malte _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
