Indeed, if you haven't done dbus_thread_init that would explain threads 
problems !

I don't really know anything about python threading or the python 
bindings. For threads_init you need to provide pretty basic stuff; it 
maps directly to pthreads on unix/linux, or to cross-platform threads 
APIs that look like pthread, such as GLib's thread stuff.
