(For background, see #1)

If dbus-python is installed via the distribution's package system, you may get the following error when running jack-select:

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'dbus-python' distribution was not found and is required by jack-select

This means that dbus-python does not register itself correctly as a setupotools compatible package.
Unfortunately this seems to be the case on most major Linux distributions. For example, thatswhy I patch the setup.py file to remove the explicit dbus-python dependency in my AUR package for jack-select.

The dbus-python package has been marked as outdated now, so we should switch to pydbus

Unfortunately, pydbus does not support asynchronous calls yet, so it is no viable replacement option until it does.
