Sorry, but you have to understand that the question does not make sense.

A proxy object is, by definition, proxying for an object that exists in a 
remote application. You use a proxy object to place calls to this remote 
object and to connect to signals emitted from that remote object.

Emitting a signal from your own application -- by definition again -- are 
emitted from a *local* object. It does not make sense to have a proxy object 
in order to emit signals. In most bindings, trying to place calls to the local 
application (including the creation of a proxy object for a local object) 
cause a deadlock and the 25-second timeout.

Now, I don't know the Python API, so I cannot advise you how to accomplish 
that goal. But I can tell you that a solution must exist.
