Maybe some Python 3.x version is being used to execute gdbus-codegen?

Just an idea, as dict.has_key() has been removed from Python 3, so
ensure Python 2.6 or 2.7 (consult GLib's configure.ac for a definitive
list of supported versions) is picked up and it will probably work.

For the Pythonistas among us: idiomatic Python code should state
"key in dict" instead of "dict.has_key(key)" except when compatibility
with pre Python 2.3 is required.
