*If* ctypes can be fixed then I've nothing against DBus Python bindings using 
it. Before going down the ctypes route though, we should be sure that it *can*
be fixed. The fix will have to be in ctypes code - its not an SELinux problem;
SELinux is just enforcing a security policy which other OS / platforms already 
enforce in kernel or hardware, so fix looks like it would have to come from 
ctypes end.
