It's also possible (and delightfully easy) with dbus-python, using the reply_handler/error_handler kwargs: http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-python/doc/tutorial.html#making-asynchronous-method-calls I've used this approach in good old Jockey back then for backend method calls which can take minutes.
