# The odd syntax used here is required so that the code is compatible with
# both Python 2 and Python 3.  It essentially creates a new class called
# ExportedGObject with a metaclass of ExportGObjectType and an __init__()
# function.
#
# Because GObject and `dbus.service.Object` both have custom metaclasses, the
# naive approach using simple multiple inheritance won't work. This class has
# `ExportedGObjectType` as its metaclass, which is sufficient to make it work
# correctly.
