GIO is striving to provide a modern, easy-to-use VFS API that sits at the right level in the library stack, as well as other generally useful APIs for desktop applications (such as networking and D-Bus support). The goal is to overcome the shortcomings of GnomeVFS and provide an API that is so good that developers prefer it over raw POSIX calls. Among other things that means using GObject.

how to get dirname of a GFile?
When using GIO and GVFS, how do I best get the directory name of a GFile object? There is a get_basename() function but no get_dirname().
The function should work for remote URIs as well. Also, it should be available in Python.

How can I get the remote address from an incoming message on UDP listener socket?
Although it's possible to read from a Gio.Socket by wrapping it's file-descriptor in Gio.DataInputStream, using Gio.Socket.receive_from() in GJS to receive is not possible because as commented here:
