python dbus objects problem

[Mr misha volk]

As context, im a c coder.  This is my first program in
python, and my
first time using dbus.  Hopefully that means that my
problem is
braindead simple.  Personally, i've been hacking away
at it for a day
with no luck.

That said, how do i fix the failure notice in the
following:

Is there a way to fix it, or does dbus limit you to
only those methods
explicitly defined in exported objects?

tia,
michael

--- consumer program ---

#!/usr/bin/env python

import dbus

bus = dbus.SessionBus()

helloservice = bus.get_object('org.test.helloservice',
'/org/test/helloservice')
hello_interface = dbus.Interface(helloservice,
dbus_interface='org.test.helloservice')

print hello_interface.hello ()  # prints
"Hello,World!" successfully 
print hello_interface.ac.Hi ()  # fails with:
AttributeError:
_ProxyMethod instance has no attribute 'Hi'

--- producer program ---

#!/usr/bin/env python
