There seems to be a race condition somewhere. The test.py script just calls the raise_exception method in ExampleObject several times.

Comment 2 Thomas Woerner 2013-10-28 10:20:39 EDT

The example bases on the examples from python-slip, but without polkit and python-slip support.

Comment 3 Thomas Woerner 2013-10-28 10:45:11 EDT

This is also a problem in Fedora 20.

Mind testing
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/dbus-python-1.2.0-1.fc20
?

If that helps here, can consider doing a f19 update too.

Comment 5 Thomas Woerner 2013-10-28 12:25:40 EDT

I updated to this version in my Fedora-19 installation and the problem is still there.

Comment 6 Rex Dieter 2013-10-28 13:26:28 EDT

OK, thanks. :(

Mind poking upstream?

against 'python' component.
