Python syntax error with D-BUS 0.34

[Sean Meiners]

Since we're still using python 2.3 as well I found another solution:
Change:
    @method('org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable')
To:
    Introspect = method('org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable')(Introspect)
Where Introspect is the name of the function being decorated.

This way you can still use the service class if you like (removing the 
decorator altogether breaks it).
