mapping object paths to method calls

[Chris Rebert]

Dan -
I investigated ObjectTree, but unfortunately it's been removed from the 
Python bindings.

	* python/dbus.py: new version tuple "version" is set at (0, 40, 0)
	(ObjectTree): class removed for now

But Thiago's way should work fine for now.
Thanks for trying.
