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

[Marcus Nascimento]

Lukas,

I know there is DBus Bindings for QT. Considering you're creating a self
contained application, there is no problem at all.
But think about a library that may be integrated into a QT application (and
any other non QT application).
If you need to use dbus from this lib, you shouldn't (or even can't) base
your lib on QT.
So, my QT application would have to allow a Glib based event dispatcher. And
I know this is possible. Just couldn't find how.
