python-dbus-next is a Python library for DBus that aims to be a fully featured high level library primarily geared towards integration of applications into Linux desktop and mobile environments.

Desktop application developers can use this library for integrating their applications into desktop environments by implementing common DBus standard interfaces or creating custom plugin interfaces.

Desktop users can use this library to create their own scripts and utilities to interact with those interfaces for customization of their desktop environment.

python-dbus-next plans to improve over other DBus libraries for Python in the following ways:

Zero dependencies and pure Python 3.
Support for multiple IO backends including asyncio and the GLib main loop.
Nonblocking IO suitable for GUI development.
Target the latest language features of Python for beautiful services and clients.
Complete implementation of the DBus type system without ever guessing types.
Integration tests for all features of the library.
Completely documented public API.
