It sometimes helps reading the documentation:

Replace this:

    def resolve(self, interface, protocol, name, stype, domain, flags=None):
        interface, protocol, name, stype, domain, host, aprotocol, address, \
            port, txt, flags = self.server.ResolveService(interface, protocol,
                        name, stype, domain, avahi.PROTO_UNSPEC,
                        dbus.UInt32(0))

by this:


    def resolve(self, interface, protocol, name, stype, domain, flags=None):
        interface, protocol, name, stype, domain, host, aprotocol, address, \
            port, txt, flags = self.server.ResolveService(interface, protocol,
                        name, stype, domain, avahi.PROTO_IPV4, dbus.UInt32(0))

Have fun,
