Ah, he mentioned getting D-BUS timeouts, so I figured that timeout would happen on the client side and thus he wanted a client-side async method call. But you can implement async method call handling on the server side, too, by using "async_callbacks" in the @dbus.service.method decorator. Have a look at http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-python/api/dbus.service-module.html#method This also treats this subject: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2142115/implementation-of-an-async-method-in-python-dbus However, there's not a lot of existing examples there, it seems few people ever do this.
