"""
Different versions of the Python DBus bindings return different types
to represent integers, strings, lists, etc. Older versions return
builtin Python types: C{int}, C{str}, C{list}, etc. Newer versions
return DBus-specific wrappers: C{Int16}, C{String}, C{Array}, etc.
Failures occur when DBus types are used because bpickle doesn't know
that an C{Int16} is really an C{int} and that an C{Array} is really a
C{list}.
L{install} and L{uninstall} can install and remove extensions that
make bpickle work with DBus types.
