+# Thanks goes out to Kevin Mehall for creating Pithos and providing the DBus
+# interface (/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pithos/dbus_service.py)
+# Kevin's helpful post regarding this interface:
+# https://answers.launchpad.net/pithos/+question/166326
+
+# Note, the DBus interface works regardless if media keys are enabled.
+# In particular, if you would normally get the message
+# "ERROR:root:Could not bind media keys" you can edit your
+# ~/.config/pithos.ini file and set "enable_mediakeys" to " False" to
+# prevent that error and still use the DBus interface successfully.
