How to pass file descriptor through dbus call in python

Hi,
Hi,

DBus 1.3 supports passing file descriptor through dbus method call. So I am writing a python test case to verify my interface. Can someone answer my question: how to pass a file descriptor through python-dbus call? For example:

	import os
	
	m, s = os.openpty()
	
	bus = dbus.SystemBus()
	obj = dbus.Interface(bus.get_object('org.xxx', '/', interface)
	obj.Create(m)

Python tells me that: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknowMethod: Method 'Create' with signature "i" on interface 'xxx' doesn't exist. Obviously it interprets 'm' as 'i' instead of 'h'.

Regards,
Zhenhua
