Python can't find the dbus module, it's probably installed in the wrong 
place

The org.bluez service file is probably installed in the wrong place or 
not installed

This may mean you did not start up the system bus, or don't have a 
working init script for it.

This is a little smartass, but unless you're just trying to learn how to 
debug things like this, I would say your order of install is:

  1) some distribution that already has this stuff packaged in working
     form
  2) dbus and dbus-python packages from said distribution

Then you will have a few days of time you can spend on something else...
