5.5. Anaconda modules and D-Bus library

Anaconda’s modules run as independent processes. To communicate with these processes via their D-Bus API, use the dasbus library.

Calls to methods via D-Bus API are asynchronous, but with the dasbus library you can convert them to synchronous method calls in Python. You can also write either of the following programs:

For more information about threads and communication, see Communication across Anaconda threads.

Additionally, Anaconda uses Task objects running in modules. Tasks have a D-Bus API and methods that are automatically executed in additional threads. To successfully run the tasks, use the sync_run_task and async_run_task helper functions.
