[PyKDE] DCOP problem

[Michał Woźniak]

Hi there, guys

Got a strange issue here: trying to have my Python script open a new KMail's 
Composer window through DCOP, but I can't seem to be able to call the 
appropriate function.

Now, from shell, everything works great:
dcop kontact KMailIface openComposer to cc bcc subject body False
opens me a new window.

What's more, 1. I can call other functions of the KMailIface object from 
Python without any issues, and 2. the script below actually lists the 
"openComposer" method (a few times), but apparently does not call it. As you 
will see in the code below, I tried three ways of passing the arguments, in 
case I am missing something here, but no luck either. Any ideas?

Cheers
Mike

=== SCRIPT ==================================================================
#!/usr/bin/python

import dcop
import dcopext
from kdecore import *
from qt import *

# the dcop client
dc = dcop.DCOPClient()
print 'attaching:', dc.attach()
print
# getting the editor up
dcApp = dcopext.DCOPApp('kontact', dc)
print 'methods:'
for method in dcApp.KMailIface.methods:
	print ' - "' + str(method) + '"'
print
print 'calling dcApp.KMailIface.openComposer(\'to\', \'cc\', \'bcc\', 
\'subject\', \'body\', False):'
print dcApp.KMailIface.openComposer('to', 'cc', 'bcc', 'subject', 'body', 
False)
print dcApp.KMailIface.openComposer(QCString('to'), QCString('cc'), 
QCString('bcc'), QCString('subject'), QCString('body'), False)
print dcApp.KMailIface.openComposer(QString('to'), QString('cc'), 
QString('bcc'), QString('subject'), QString('body'), False)
