I downloaded the tarball and didn't find a setup.py at all.

Unfortunately, you can't. We only mirror PyPI, and we only download
packages published there.

The 1.2.0 release from
http://dbus.freedesktop.org/releases/dbus-python/ doesn't look like an
sdist, either (I see a configure script, so I think they've switched
to autoconf). Uploading that version to PyPI isn't going to give you
something you can install with pip. Are there system packages for
dbus-python for the distros we support directly?

That release also appears to be just over a year old. Do you know if
dbus-python is being actively maintained any more? Are there other
libraries for talking to dbus?
