dasbus has different, incompatible interface from dbus-python

After getting pantalaimon set up, attempting to run panctl throws the following error:

Being completely unfamiliar with dbus, I tried a couple more things to get it running again but I couldn't derive the intention behind this code so I'm not sure what the right dasbus version would be.

My steps to get this set up (on Mac):

1. Clone repo
2. python3 -m venv venv
3. source venv/bin/activate
4. pip install .
5. pip install matrix_nio==0.25.2 PyGObject dasbus <- For whatever reason neither PyGObject nor dasbus are installed automatically, I have to install them manually here. I also have to manually upgrade matrix_nio as I mentioned in another ticket
6. Start pantalaimon, run panctl in another terminal both inside the virtual env

Sorry for the delayed response. I am looking into this now and am hoping to have a PR out soon. I also updated the README to say that you need to run pip install .[ui] to install the extra packages. Though I also might but add them in with the default packages.

@RedChops Can you test out #180? It seems to work on my end but I want to make sure that it's working for others.

[RedChops]

@chookity-pokk Ran in to two things while testing:

1. PyGObject dependency in setup.py is too old, I hit this. Changing the requirement to "PyGObject >= 3.46, < 3.50" fixed it. Basically needed a version of gobject-introspection newer than 4 years
2. I set up dbus according to the readme, set the environment variables:

echo $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
unix:path=/private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.jlwg8wqAzH/unix_domain_listener

But then get the error:

panctl> list-servers

So much closer!

The pygobject has been updated to a more recent version, and I am currently working on the dbus issue. I also realized ui.py has a bunch of dasbus code in there so I spent time tonight trying to replace that.

I do apologize that I am slow on these responses and fixing the code. It's just been a long couple weeks at work lately.

Also, I'd like the point out that installing via pypi should work just fine for you (hopefully), while I sort this all out.

[RedChops]

Not a problem, this is not a mission-critical application for me. I'm happy to keep testing out (and building from a fresh environment) as progress happens. I've been a bit too busy to learn dbus as well or I would have tried to contribute a patch

[chookity-pokk]

@RedChops I reverted dbus back to pydbus while I continue to figure this stuff out. This should solve this issue though. Let me know if it doesn't!
