Conceptually not, but some combinations can be weird; e.g. Python
services export all arguments as variants, which means from GLib you
need to package every argument up in a GValue for instance.

Python talking to a GLib service should be pretty straightforward.  I
don't know if the Python bindings parse available introspection data
yet, but if they did you wouldn't even have to use stuff like dbus.Uint.
