Both Python 2 and Python 3 modules can be built and installed without any conflicts.
To build D-Bus Python as the Python 2 module, run the following commands:
mkdir python2 && pushd python2 && PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2 \ ../configure --prefix=/usr --disable-documentation && make && popd
To test the results, issue: make -C python2 check. Several tests report an error due to dbus issues.
To build D-Bus Python as the Python 3 module, run the following commands:
mkdir python3 && pushd python3 && PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3 \ ../configure --prefix=/usr --docdir=/usr/share/doc/dbus-python-1.2.16 && make && popd
To test the results, issue: make -C python3 check.

run the following command as the root
user:
make -C python2 install
To install the Python 3 module,
run the following command as the root
user:
make -C python3 install
