Description:
listsessioninhibitors 0.9.8
command line utility to list session power inhibitors for Linux Gnome users.
Inspired by https://askubuntu.com/a/1239194/152287 from Alexis Wilke (https://www.m2osw.com/)
Install Tips
The pip install adds an executable to your path (see usage).
This script assumes you are using Gnome.
Prerequisite packages
The python package PyGObject is a prerequisite.
Installation is automatic, but certain system packages must be installed, according to the requirements of PyGObject
For Ubuntu 20.10:
sudo apt install python3-pip libgirepository1.0-dev gcc libcairo2-dev pkg-config python3-dev gir1.2-gtk-3.0
for other distributions, see https://pygobject.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started.html
You may get a warning that ~/.local/bin is not on your path.
When you next login, this will be fixed.
Usage
inhibitors list
Example
With the Gnome Shell plugin Caffeine activate, and a Google Meet running in Firefox:
$ inhibitors list
Listing inhibitors reported by dbus:
Inhibitor: firefox audio-playing
Inhibitor: user Inhibit by Caffeine
Comparison with systemd
we can do
$ systemd-inhibit --list
which on my desktop gives:

NetworkManager 0 root 1912 NetworkManager sleep NetworkManager needs to turn off networks delay
UPower 0 root 2654 upowerd sleep Pause device polling delay

tim 1000 tim 5255 gsd-media-keys sleep GNOME handling keypresses delay
tim 1000 tim 5257 gsd-power sleep GNOME needs to lock the screen delay
The Caffeine plugin inhibit is the third line from the bottom. However, it is not obvious. I am sure in this case, because when I deactivate caffeine, the third line disappears.
The Google Meet inhibitor is not even listed at all. However, it is definitely an inhibitor.
