A dbus.mainloop.NativeMainLoop instance is required [Was: Re: dbus-python: support for Windows and OS X]

[Lukas Hetzenecker]

Hello,

I've unfortunately not yet found a solution for other operating systems (but I 
also didn't investigate it much further). However, I'm still interested in 
porting my PyQt4/D-Bus - based application to Windows.

Qt offers a native mainloop for D-Bus, so there is no need to use the mainloop 
from glib ( http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qtdbus.html ).

There are already some C++ applications that use this approch (KDE project) 
and it seems to work fine.

So - in my opinion - the problem is in the PyQt bindings (the official 
documentation actually states that D-Bus support is only available for 
PyQt/X11). Maybe we should ask Phil Thompson, maintainer of PyQt4, if he has 
plans to support Windows too? The link to mailing list is
