I don't think the code completation will never work, at least in a 
editor, because the methods available will be known only
during the execution of the code, not before :(
The good part it that this library will not need to be updated if 
fso-frameworkd will change.
The weak part is that fso-frameworkd deamon will change, all the 
applications that use it will continue to need to be updated.

Ops... my fault. I use PyGtk, so I thought that GObject is all the 
world. And I forgot that exist a world done by other toolkits.
I think it needed to be called PyGtkFso or PyGObjectFso, and if the 
ideas is nice, it will not be difficult to create a version of the same 
library to
run with Qt and with Efl. I need only to study a bit PyQt and PyEfl.

This is the part I like more (but I don't know how much clean it is).... 
I redefine the method "connect" and if a signal si a signal for dbus 
(that I read on runtime), I connect it direct to dbus, else I contine to 
connect to the object.
Still I have to test well the part with signals, I tested well only methods.
To be runned, it need the mdbus script copied as mdbus.py in the same 
forlder of pyfso.py (I steal a class from Michael).

For now I will try to use on some programs I created. But I son't think 
it is so good code to enter in framework. For now it is only an experiment.
