[Pkg-bluetooth-maintainers] Bug#457990: lookup name fails (dbus api works)

[Matthias Bläsing]

Package: python-bluez
Version: 0.9.2-1
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

Hello,

I'm migrating away from the python-bluetooth api. One of the things that
were still directly using bluez via the python bindings were the lookup
of the device name:

mblaesing at prometheus:~$ python
Python 2.4.4 (#2, Aug 16 2007, 02:03:40) 
[GCC 4.1.3 20070812 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.2-15)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import bluetooth
>>> bluetooth.lookup_name('00:1D:28:72:38:BC', 1)
>>> 

as you can see this does not work any longer.

The dbus api works as expected:

mblaesing at prometheus:~$ dbus-send --system --type=method_call
--print-reply --dest=org.bluez /org/bluez/hci0
org.bluez.Adapter.GetRemoteName string:'00:1D:28:72:38:BC'
method return sender=:1.4 -> dest=:1.167 reply_serial=2
   string "K810i"
mblaesing at prometheus:~$ 

Thanks

Matthias
