[maemo-developers] Issues with bora's dbus-python

[From: Luciano M. Wolf]

Hi Henri,

Thanks for this report. Right now we are migrating pymaemo svn to
garage.maemo.org. After this we will give special attention to all
bugs reported. Could you open a bug on pymaemo bugzilla[1] with a link
or some information about this patch for pyrex?

Regards,
Luciano Wolf
