This is harder than it looks, unfortunately.

It uses glib (python-gobject-2) indirectly. In client.py:
import dbus.mainloop.glib
dbus.mainloop.glib.DBusGMainLoop(set_as_default=True)
This is really bad behaviour: using a library should not change global
state! If it was acceptable to do this, python-dbus would do it for you
already.
Unfortunately, changing it is an API change for library users:
see <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48904>. Maybe
python-zeitgeist has so few users that nobody cares, but it needs
discussing upstream.
