pydbus3

Publish DBus services or access DBus clients no differently than a typical local Python method, property or signal callback. Including named method arguments with defaults, properly naming states or conditions as strings that are just integers via DBus, much more.

For example:

...
sb = SystemBus()
NetworkManager = sb.get("org.freedesktop.NetworkManager",translation_spec=True)
r=NetworkManager.CheckpointCreate(devices=['/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/0'],
    rollback_timeout = 10, flags = "DELETE_NEW_CONNECTIONS")

Notice the use of argument names instead of only by position (which still works), string values for flags instead of cryptic integers. No need for DBus specific function decorations. Should a method return be a list of named values, call it ret, then

ret[argposition_number] == arg['argument_name'] == arg.argument_name

There are many other 'pythonic conveniences', for instance using the example above, after the function returns,

NetworkManager._state.rollback_timeout == 10
