[PYDBUS]Export method question

[Claudio Takahasi]

Hi Robert,

Is there a way to get the message header attributes?

I notice that there are methods to set the destination, set serial,
... But I don't
know  how get the received message header attributes.

If I get the message header attributes and create a reply message
after it solve my problem :)

Regards,
Claudio.
