Be aware that not all bindings support unicast signals properly (or at
all). I suspect they're more likely to work in bindings that have a
generic "listen for signals matching this rule" function rather than
having to do *everything* through proxy objects.

I'm pretty sure dbus-python supports receiving unicast signals, although
you may have to use the low-level API in dbus.lowlevel to send them. If I
remember correctly, dbus-glib does not.
