When I run:
dbus.SystemBus().get_object('org.freedesktop.NetworkManager',
'/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/AccessPoint').Introspect(\
        dbus_interface='org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable')

it gives me:

<!DOCTYPE node PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Object Introspection
1.0//EN"
"http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/introspect.dtd">
<node>
  <node name="12"/>
</node>

which means that there is one object path that is a child of the given
object path,
specifically: /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/AccessPoint/12 

Do you get something different, or did you just not realize what the
<node> elements meant? (I don't remember seeing it /documented/
anywhere... ;-) )

I found this out when I was working on my FullIntrospecter tool, which I
mentioned on the list some time ago (to resounding silence).
