Abstract

The aim of this tutorial is to give a sample class to include Notifications and Jobs to your own python programms, so the user can see what is going on (for example a backup system, that tells you that is backuping right now). It assumes a basic working knowledge of Python and PyKDE4. For now only the Job part is mentioned, 'cause that is the only part I've created right now.

Further plans

To add the Notification part also to this tutorial.

Instruction

We start with a minimal KDE Appliciation (Using PyKDE4):

1. ! /usr/bin/python
2. -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

if __name__ == "__main__":

   import sys
   
   from PyKDE4.kdecore import KCmdLineArgs, KAboutData, KLocalizedString, ki18n
   from PyKDE4.kdeui import KApplication    
   
   appName     = "default"
   catalog     = ""
   programName = ki18n ("default")  
   version     = "1.0"
   description = ki18n ("Default Example")  
   license     = KAboutData.License_GPL
   copyright   = ki18n ("(c) 2010 Sandro Knauß") 
   text        = ki18n ("none") 
   homePage    = "techbase.kde.org"
   bugEmail    = "bugs@sandroknauss.de"

   aboutData   = KAboutData (appName, catalog, programName, version, description,
                             license, copyright, text, homePage, bugEmail)

   KCmdLineArgs.init (sys.argv, aboutData)
   
   app = KApplication ()
