That's like year old stuff, no wonder it fails  :)
 
The dbus API on all fronts has changed quite a bit, as is reflected by
the fact that to use it in C you have to define a variable named
DBUS_API_SUBJECT_TO_CHANGE to acknowlegde it.

It could be used internally, but I'm not sure. As I said, I'm not
really familiar with the python bindings (yet).

It was from:
http://cvs.freedesktop.org/dbus/dbus/python/examples/

where you can see the full examples from the source package. Use the
"select branch"  dropdown if not using the most recent version.

And for future questions, it is useful to state which version you are
using since with dbus going over API changes more often than the sun
goes down (no offense, guys ;) it matters a _lot_.
