I agree it would be better to have a pip-installable package. It's not clear if the dbus-python authors care about that, but I think asking them is the next step. A search on PyPI shows a couple of packages that look like alternatives, including at least one that claims to support asynchronous I/O. If the dbus-python authors won't package their lib for PyPI, we should consider looking at the other libraries more closely.
