Unfortunately, you can't. We only mirror PyPI, and we only download packages published there. The 1.2.0 release from http://dbus.freedesktop.org/releases/dbus-python/ doesn't look like an sdist, either (I see a configure script, so I think they've switched to autoconf). Uploading that version to PyPI isn't going to give you something you can install with pip. Are there system packages for dbus-python for the distros we support directly? That release also appears to be just over a year old. Do you know if dbus-python is being actively maintained any more? Are there other libraries for talking to dbus?
