[python] timeout during async call

Hi,

I am trying to call a function asynchronous - but after a few moments I get:

DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a
reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a
reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply
timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

The function is defined as:
def update_world (self, newuse = False, deep = False):
    ret = []
    e = Event()
			
    def wait (list):
        ret.extend([(CatapultPackage(x), CatapultPackage(y)) for x,y in
list])
        e.set()

    def error (ex):
        e.set()
        raise ex
		
    self.proxy.update_world(newuse, deep, {}, reply_handler = wait,
error_handler = error)
    e.wait()
    return ret

Yes - it is waiting for the reply to be sent, as this function has to
return in sync. - But the exception is thrown by DBus. How can an async
call time out?

Regards,
Necoro

P.S: If it matters: The method is implemented in an asnychronous way on
the server site too (i.e. it forks of in a thread and returns immediately)
