I don't recall seeing this reported before but with rc2 and Python 2.5 I 
couldn't import _dbus_bindings...

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: attribute '__doc__' of 'type' objects is not writable

The problem is the call to PyObject_SetAttrString() on line 50 in 
exceptions.c.
