How to handle DBus structure on the receiver side

[RomanMeR]

In the Tx DBus Tutorial it's described how one could send a structure using dbusOrder class variable. I would like to have convenient way of unmarshalling such structure on the receiving side. As of now I presumably invented the wheel with the from_marshalled method:

class SensorDescription(object):
    dbusOrder = ['name', 'parameter', 'type']
    def __init__(self, sensor = None):
        if sensor != None:
            self.name = sensor.name
            self.parameter = sensor.parameter
            self.type = sensor.type

    @classmethod
    def from_marshalled(cls, marshalled_item):
        assert isinstance(marshalled_item, list)
        assert len(marshalled_item) == len(SensorDescription.dbusOrder)
        result = cls()
        for i in range(0, len(SensorDescription.dbusOrder)):
            setattr(result, SensorDescription.dbusOrder[i], marshalled_item[i])
        return result

Does txdbus have some way of automatic structure unmarshalling? Maybe I could register my structure on the client side for unmarshalling and txdbus would do for me the same as the code in the from_marshalled class method above?

I don't believe I added anything like what you're describing for automatic structure unmarshalling. It sounds like you've worked out the basics though so if you'd like to send in a patch adding built-in support, I'd be happy to review and accept it. Tom

Thank you Tom for the answer!
I'm sorry, but I'm in a such period of life that it's not possible for me to spend even small amout of time on making a patch. Wrote this in order not to create unreasonable expectations.
P.S. Thank you Tom for txdbus, it's really great.
