But here's an example of using dbus from within python

Code:

def funcDevOri():
        print "** Start Function - Device Orientation **"
        bus = dbus.SystemBus()             
        accel = bus.get_object('com.nokia.mce','/com/nokia/mce/request','com.nokia.mce.request') 

        orientation , stand , face , x , y , z = accel.get_device_orientation()
        return orientation

Or.....
(This is the one you want, as it gets the IMEI, so not too far from what you need!!)

Code:

def funcIMEI():
        print "** Start Function - Device IMEI **"
        b = os.popen('run-standalone.sh dbus-send --system --print-reply --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.phone.SIM /com/nokia/phone/SIM/security Phone.Sim.Security.get_imei').read()
        b = str(b)
        b = b.strip()
        b = str(b)[-27:]
        b = b.strip()
        b = str(b)[:-12]
        return b

or

Code:

def FMTxPropertiesInterfaceConnect():
	bus = dbus.SystemBus()
	dbus_object = bus.get_object('com.nokia.FMTx', '/com/nokia/fmtx/default', False)
	dbus_interface = dbus.Interface(dbus_object, dbus_interface='org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties')
	return dbus_interface

i can turn this dbus-send call

dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.Notifications /org/freedesktop/Notifications org.freedesktop.Notifications.SystemNoteInfoprint string:"message"

IN

import dbus
bus = dbus.SystemBus()
iface = dbus.Interface(bus.get_object('org.freedesktop.Not ifications',
'/org/freedesktop/Notifications'),
'org.freedesktop.Notifications')
iface.SystemNoteInfoprint('message')


but how can i convert bus-send --system --print-reply --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.phone.SIM /com/nokia/phone/SIM/security Phone.Sim.Security.get_imei' in to that second way ?
