It allows talking to systemd over dbus from python, programmatically start/stop/restart/kill and verify services status from systemd point of view, avoiding executing "subprocess.Popen(['systemctl', ..." and then parsing the output to know the result. pystemd also includes a systemd-run equivalent as well as provides an interface to sd_notify. === The presence of the PATENTS file in pystemd troubled me a bit. I was not sure if it complies with DFSG. Digging through the debian-legal list, and considering similar cases [1] [2], I assume that this legal thing is not blocking packaging of pystemd.
