The error comes from Python C bindings, where a new method of
encapsulating C pointers (like handles etc) in Python objects should
be used by new code:

http://docs.python.org/release/3.1.3/c-api/capsule.html

The old method still works however, at least it does in Python 2.x.

Anyway it seems the dbus bindings need to be updated, although
obviously not with any urgency.
