Class: PresenceService (gobject.GObject)

How do I get a list of buddies that are presently available on my mesh network?

The PresenceService class has a helper method called get_buddies() that will return a list of sugar.presence.buddy.Buddy objects. The code below shows how you can get a list of available buddies and print out some relevant properties for each.


    from sugar.presence import presenceservice
    ...
    #### Method: _print_buddy_info, which finds all the buddies detected for this 
    # XO and then prints their relevant properties. 
    def _print_buddy_info(self):
        ps = presenceservice.PresenceService()
        buddies = ps.get_buddies()
        for currBuddy in buddies:
            print '----------------------- ' + currBuddy.get_property('nick') + ': '
            print currBuddy.get_property('key')
            print currBuddy.get_property('color')
            print currBuddy.get_property('current-activity')
            print currBuddy.get_property('owner')
            print currBuddy.get_property('ip4-address')
            print ''
