pythonsystemd

Are there any new python library support systemd functionality other than DBUS

I would like to implement the systemd functionality from python script. Start and stop the services in Linux machine from python script using third party library.

e.g: sudo systemctl start application.service

I know there is a library which support the systemd kind of functionality, i.e DBUS

import dbus
sysbus = dbus.SystemBus()

But, I am looking for an best library other than dbus. Any ideas...

Solution

  • yes there is pystemd

    https://github.com/facebookincubator/pystemd

    the tl;dr; ussage is

    with Unit(b'postfix.service') as service:
    service.Unit.Start('replace')

    also provides nice interface to pystemd.run and sd_notify

    readme and _docs folder have a lot of code examples... feel free to ask anithing
