Thanks @robert-ancell for setting up the PPA.
I tested on Xenial Ubuntu Desktop LiveCD and would like to report
Failure on this implementation.
Your use of subprocess is passing capture_output on xenial and that is
raising an error in python before calling ua client.
On a system attached to esm-apps:
python3 -c 'import gi; gi.require_version("Gtk", "3.0"); from
softwareproperties.gtk.utils import get_esm_apps_status;
print(get_esm_apps_status())'
Failed to call ubuntu advantage client:
__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'capture_output'
(False, False)
Note that run(capture_output) param is not available on python3.5 (it was
introduced only in 3.7).
Also just dropping that capture_output param you've got some other logic
relying on result.stdout which is None in this case.
while you iterate on this work, you could substitute esm-infra in your
get_esm_apps_status function as it'll behave the same way as app, and all
contracts are entitled to esm-infra at the moment so it will be easier to test
enabled, available etc.
If you'd like review on the iterations of these SRU branches related to this
just assign lamoura or chad.smith too and we can take a look.

Bug description:
[Impact]
There is not currently a graphical method of determining if a system is
subscribed to [Extended Security Maintenance](https://ubuntu.com/security/esm)
updates. This is resolved by adding some [new
UI](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#Extended_Security_Maintenance) to
the software properties application.
[Test Case]
1. Install latest version of Ubuntu advantage:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ua-client/stable
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt upgrade
2. Open Software Properties
3. Go to Updates tab.
Expected result:
Information is shown that indicates if this system is using Extended Security
Maintenance updates, when updates will supported until, and a link to upgrade
to ESM.
Observed result:
No ESM information currently shown.
[Where problems could occur]
- Software properties could hit a bug getting a response from the ua app. The
current code carefully checks if and what is returned, falling back to a safe
default behavior.
- Launching software properties could trigger a bug in the ua app.
- Software properties could show incorrect information, causing confusion for
the user. The solution uses information from distro-info and the ua app which
means software-properties contains no data about ESM, and instead relies on
these apps that can be updated if things change.
