Get object list in python

[Andy Barry]

So it does.  I must have had my introspection code wrong after all.  I was using:

import dbus
bus = dbus.SystemBus()
proxy = bus.get_object('org.freedesktop.NetworkManager', '/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/AccessPoint')
iface = dbus.Interface(proxy, "org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable")
print dbus._expat_introspect_parser.process_introspection_data(iface.Introspect())

which returns "{}"

but when I change the path to /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager I get:

{u'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.sleep': '', u'org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable.Introspect': '', u'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.wake': '', u'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.state': '', u'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.GetDevices': '', u'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.ActivateConnection': u'sooo', u'org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get': u'ss', u'org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.GetAll': u's', u'org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Set': u'ssv', u'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.DeactivateConnection': u'o', u'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Sleep': u'b'}

in any case, you've solved my problem!  Thank you very much!
