libavahi-common also has a quite nice (and small) main loop abstraction
with D-Bus integration; implementations of the abstraction include
"simple" (its own tiny select loop), GLib and Qt.

When dbus-python eventually gets pure-Python main loop support, its API will
probably be heavily inspired by libavahi-common.
