Python/gtk/hildon: zoom buttons

Anyone have any ideas on how to access the N900's zoom buttons using python (without Qt, but with hildon and gtk). I have this far only found ways to do it in C/C++...

Help greatly appreciated :)

Re: Python/gtk/hildon: zoom buttons

See http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...t=headset+dbus
In short:
bus = dbus.SystemBus()

headset = bus.get_object('org.freedesktop.Hal', '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_retu_headset_logicaldev_input')
headset_iface = dbus.Interface(headset, dbus_interface='org.freedesktop.Hal.Device')
headset_iface.connect_to_signal("Condition", handler)

Code:

import gtk

import hildon



def enable_zoom_cb(window):

        window.window.property_change(gtk.gdk.atom_intern("_HILDON_ZOOM_KEY_ATOM"), gtk.gdk.atom_intern("INTEGER"), 32, gtk.gdk.PROP_MODE_REPLACE, [1]);



def enable_zoom_keys(window):

        if window.flags() & gtk.REALIZED:

                enable_zoom_cb(window)

        else:

                window.connect("realize", enable_zoom_cb)





def key_press_handler(widget, event):

        if event.keyval in [hildon.KEY_DECREASE, hildon.KEY_INCREASE]:

                hildon.hildon_banner_show_information(widget, "None", "A zoom key hit")

                return True

        return False



window = hildon.Window()

enable_zoom_keys(window)

window.connect("key-press-event", key_press_handler)

window.show_all()

gtk.main()
