Uhm, you are using what?

>From the example code (for dbus 23.4):

---8<----

def hello_signal_handler(interface, signal_name, service, path, message):
        print ("Received signal '%s.%s' from object '%s%s'"
               % (interface, signal_name, service, path))

object.connect_to_signal("hello", hello_signal_handler)

--8>---
