<p class=MsoNormal>Good afternoon Chaps,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m using dbus-python to consume a 3<sup>rd</sup>
party service, which is developed in C. After using the service for a short
while this afternoon I started to notice I was getting an exception thrown by
dbus when trying to connect to signals on the objects. The exception was
stating that the match pair limits had been exceeded.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m not really familiar with the match pair limit and
what would cause it to be exceeded. Is this likely to be something I’m
doing wrong with the python application which is causing the connections to not
be released? Or is it more likely to be something in the service I’m
consuming?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The method in which I’m connecting to the signals
would seem to be fairly common, right?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I’d really appreciate your thoughts on this, with any
