It looks like you don't have HAL installed.  In any case, this is a
Ubuntu / DBus issue, not really a Python issue, so you might find
better support at those fora.

By the way, HAL is deprecated.  I believe current best practice is to
interface with udev directly, but I don't know exactly what that
entails.
