Python Bindings

[Gary Cramblitt]

Hello,

Trying to build and install the dbus python bindings from latest git.

python setup.py build
matched dbus_h_wrapper.h
output In file included from /usr/include/dbus-1.0/dbus/dbus-address.h:30,
                 from /usr/include/dbus-1.0/dbus/dbus.h:34,
                 from dbus/dbus_h_wrapper.h:2,
                 from <stdin>:1:
/usr/include/dbus-1.0/dbus/dbus-types.h:30:20: error: stddef.h: No such file 
or directory

I was able to work around this by modifying these two lines in setup.py

includedirs_flag = ['-I.']
dbus_includes = ['.']

to

includedirs_flag = ['-I. -I/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux-gnu/3.3.6/include']
dbus_includes = ['.', '/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux-gnu/3.3.6/include']

but I'd rather know how to properly fix this.  

python setup.py install

mostly worked except for this:

byte-compiling /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/dbus/service.py to service.pyc
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/dbus/service.py", line 351
    @method('org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable', in_signature='', 
out_signature='s')
    ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

The caret is pointing to the "@" on my screen but email is wrapping it.

kde4 /home/share/src/dbus-python$ python -V
Python 2.3.5
kde4 /home/share/src/dbus-python$ pyrexc --version
Pyrex version 0.9.4.1

Any help with these problems appreciated. Thanks.
