Oops--nevermind about that SO post. I removed it after realizing that the Chat Demo I originally posted does not, in fact, export any functions accepting an *array* of struct. After modifying it (in a slightly contrived way) so that it does, the dbus-python script to invoke it works fine.
If anyone is interested, you can find the complete C++ example here: - http://github.com/evadeflow/chat-demo What I desperately want to know is: how can I write the exact same demo in PyQt4---including the sendMessages() method? Is it possible?
