dbus实例讲解（三）：数据类型和dteeth
我想在freerunner（一个开源linux手机）上查看fso（openmoko的诸多软件版本之一）的dbus信息。但fso的python没有gtk模块，跑不了d-feet。 在上一讲我介绍了d-feet的基本思路：用“org.freedesktop.DBus.ListNames”枚举消息总线上的连接，用“org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable.Introspect” 从"/"开始遍历连接的对象树。上一讲我们手工查看了两个连接，那么我们能不能写一个程序自动遍历连接的对象树， 输出指定连接的所有对象的所有接口的所有方法和信号？
当然可以，为此我写了一个叫dteeth的python脚本。不过在介绍这个脚本前，让我们先看看dbus的数据类型。
1、dbus的数据类型
dbus用xml描述接口，例如：
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<node name="/org/freesmartphone/GSM/Device">
<interface name="org.freesmartphone.GSM.SMS">
<method name="SendMessage">
<arg name="number" type="s"/>
<arg name="contents" type="s"/>
<arg name="featuremap" type="a{sv}"/>
<arg type="i" direction="out"/>
</method>
<signal name="IncomingMessage">
<arg name="address" type="s"/>
<arg name="contents" type="s"/>
<arg name="features" type="a{sv}"/>
</signal>
</interface>
</node>
其实前两讲已经看过很多例子了。node就是接口中的对象，node可以包含node，构成对象树。 dbus的接口描述文件统一采用utf-8编码。 我相信读者很容易理解这个接口描述文件。我只想解释一下描述参数数据类型的type域。 dbus的数据类型是由"s"或"a{sv}"这样的类型签名（Type Signatures）定义的。 类型签名中可以使用以下标记：
| a | ARRAY 数组 |
| b | BOOLEAN 布尔值 |
| d | DOUBLE IEEE 754双精度浮点数 |
| g | SIGNATURE 类型签名 |
| i | INT32 32位有符号整数 |
| n | INT16 16位有符号整数 |
| o | OBJECT_PATH 对象路径 |
| q | UINT16 16位无符号整数 |
| s | STRING 零结尾的UTF-8字符串 |
| t | UINT64 64位无符号整数 |
| u | UINT32 32位无符号整数 |
| v | VARIANT 可以放任意数据类型的容器，数据中包含类型信息。例如glib中的GValue。 |
| x | INT64 64位有符号整数 |
| y | BYTE 8位无符号整数 |
| () | 定义结构时使用。例如"(i(ii))" |
| {} | 定义键－值对时使用。例如"a{us}" |
a表示数组，数组元素的类型由a后面的标记决定。例如：
- "as"是字符串数组。
- 数组"a(i(ii))"的元素是一个结构。用括号将成员的类型括起来就表示结构了，结构可以嵌套。
- 数组"a{sv}"的元素是一个键－值对。"{sv}"表示键类型是字符串，值类型是VARIANT。
在以后的例子中，我们会亲手实现上面这个xml描述的接口，包括服务器和客户程序。 到时候，读者会对dbus的数据类型有更直观的认识。
2、dteeth
2.1、运行dteeth
可以从这里下载dteeth的源代码。其中包含两个python脚本：dteeth.py和_introspect_parser.py。 dteeth.py是我写的。_introspect_parser.py是个开源模块，可以分析Introspect返回的xml数据。
dteeth用法如下：
$ ./dteeth.py -h Usage: dteeth [--system] <name of a connection on the bus >
默认连接session总线，除非你加上--system。可以一次指定同一消息总线的多个连接。先在PC上试一试：
$ ./dteeth.py org.fmddlmyy.Test
org.fmddlmyy.Test
/TestObj
org.fmddlmyy.Test.Basic

dteeth是我写的第一个超过10行的python脚本。对于熟悉python的读者，dteeth应该是很简单的。 不过我还是简单解释一下dteeth的主要逻辑。
2.3、dteeth的主要逻辑
main函数分析命令行，对命令行上指定的每个连接调用show_connection函数。 show_connection在打印连接名后调用show_obj函数。show_obj从根对象"/"开始遍历连接的对象树。
show_obj对输入对象调用Introspect方法，返回的xml数据交由_introspect_parser处理。 _introspect_parser会从xml数据中分出inerface和node。 show_obj对inerface调用show_iface显示。 show_obj对node会递归调用show_obj，实现对象树的遍历。
2.3、_introspect_parser的输出格式
_introspect_parser.process_introspection_data函数分析Introspect方法返回的xml数据。 为了了解_introspect_parser的输出格式，我们可以写个小脚本：
$ cat ti.py
#!/usr/bin/env python
import dbus
import _introspect_parser
bus=dbus.SessionBus()
obj=bus.get_object('org.freesmartphone.ogsmd', '/org/freesmartphone/GSM/Device')
iface=dbus.Interface(obj, 'org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable')
xml=iface.Introspect();
data = _introspect_parser.process_introspection_data(xml)
print data
可以用这个脚本直接打印process_introspection_data返回的数据。下面是整理后的输出：
{
'interfaces':
{
u'org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable':
{
'signals': {},
'methods':
{
u'Introspect':
(
[],
[{'type': u's', 'name': u'data'}]
)
},
'properties': {}
},
u'org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties':
{
'signals': {},
'methods':
{
u'Set':
(
[{'type': u's', 'name': u'interface'}, {'type': u's', 'name': u'propname'}, {'type': u'v', 'name': u'value'}],
[]
),
u'GetAll':
(
[{'type': u's', 'name': u'interface'}],
[{'type': u'a{sv}', 'name': u'props'}]
),
u'Get':
(
[{'type': u's', 'name': u'interface'}, {'type': u's', 'name': u'propname'}],
[{'type': u'v', 'name': u'value'}]
)
},
'properties': {}
},
u'org.freesmartphone.GSM.SMS':
{
'signals':
{
u'IncomingMessage':
(
[{'type': u's', 'name': None}, {'type': u's', 'name': None}, {'type': u'a{sv}', 'name': None}],
)
},
'methods':
{
u'SendMessage':
(
[{'type': u's', 'name': u'number'}, {'type': u's', 'name': u'contents'}, {'type': u'a{sv}', 'name': u'featuremap'}],
[{'type': u'i', 'name': u'arg3'}]
)
},
'properties': {}
}
},
'child_nodes': []
}
所有字符串前面都有前缀u，表示这些字符串都是Unicode编码。在python中，字典用{}，元组用()，列表用[]。从括号我们就能看出数据格式。
我们看到process_introspection_data返回返回一个字典。这个字典有两个映射。一个映射的键值是"interfaces"，另一个映射的键值是"child_nodes"。
-
映射"child_nodes"的值是一个列表，列出所有子节点的名称。
-
映射"interfaces"的值还是一个字典。这个字典的每个映射的键值是一个接口名称。每个映射的值类型还是字典， 这个字典有3个映射，映射的键值分别是'signals'、'methods'和'properties'，映射的值类型都是字典。
-
'signals'对应字典的每个键值是一个信号名称。每个映射的值类型是元组。这个元组只有一个元素，类型是列表， 即信号的参数列表。
-
参数列表的元素类型是字典。这个字典有2个映射，映射的键值分别是'type'和'name'。'type'是参数类型，'name'是参数名称。 映射的值类型都是字符串。
-
-
'methods'对应字典的每个键值是一个方法名称。每个映射的值类型是元组。这个元组有两个元素，类型是列表， 分别是方法的输入参数列表和输出参数列表。参数列表的元素类型和信号的参数列表相同。
-
我看到'properties'映射都是空的，就没有研究。

3、python基础
简单介绍一下与dteeth有关的python语法。
3.1、代码块和缩进
python用缩进来区分语句所属的代码块，从类定义、函数到for、if的代码块都是用缩进来去区分的。 没有缩进的代码块是脚本的主体代码。 一个脚本文件也被称作一个模块。 不管模块被直接运行还是被其它模块导入，主体代码都会在载入时被执行。 例如dteeth的主体代码只有两句：
140 if __name__ == "__main__": 141 main()
__xxx__这样的标志符通常是python的系统变量。如果模块被导入，__name__的值是模块的名字。 如果模块被直接执行，__name__的值是"__main__"。 我们通常在模块被直接执行时，调用主函数或模块的测试函数。
3.2、脚本文件格式
python脚本的起始行通常是：/p>
1 #!/usr/bin/env python
env是一个可以修改环境变量并执行程序的工具，它可以自动在系统路径中搜索要执行的程序。 python脚本文件必须以0A为换行符，默认仅支持ASCII字符。 如果要写中文注释（显然是不提倡的），可以在起始行后用以下语句将文件指定为utf-8编码：
2 # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
这时，文件必须被保存为没有BOM的utf-8编码文件。
3.3、列表、元组和字典
列表类似于C的数组，列表元素用[]包括。元组是不可变的列表，元组元素用()包括。元组的元素个数和类型在创建后就不能改变了。 元组中基本类型的值是不能改变的，但如果元组的一个元素是列表，我们可以改变列表内容， 即我们可以改变元组中可变元素的内容。例如：
>>> a=(1,2,['abc']) >>> a[2]='def' Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in TypeError: 'tuple' object does not support item assignment >>> a[2][0]='def' >>> a (1, 2, ['def'])
字典是键-值对的集合，字典元素用{}包括。
4、结束语
本文介绍了一个叫作dteeth的python脚本。 这个脚本逻辑很简单，读者可以根据需要修改或扩充。 讲了这么多dbus，我们还没有接触C代码。下一讲，我们讨论dbus的C实例。
