[SOLVED]Pick up DBUS message in Awesome VM

I'm trying to pick up Pidgin im message in Awesome VM. The following python example from Pidgin web site works fine:

#!/usr/bin/env python

def my_func(account, sender, message, conversation, flags):
    print(sender, "said:", message)

from pydbus import SessionBus
from gi.repository import GObject

bus = SessionBus()
purple = bus.get("im.pidgin.purple.PurpleService", "/im/pidgin/purple/PurpleObject")
purple.ReceivedImMsg.connect(my_func)

GObject.MainLoop().run()

...but I can't find any good example in Awesome VM. Filling out the following three methods should do the trick, but I can't figure out how...

dbus.request_name("session", "im.pidgin.purple.PurpleService")
dbus.add_match("session", "???")
dbus.connect_signal("???",
function(...)
    -- do something
end)

Re: [SOLVED]Pick up DBUS message in Awesome VM

I finally got it working:

dbus.request_name("session", "im.pidgin.purple.PurpleService")
dbus.add_match("session", "interface='im.pidgin.purple.PurpleInterface', member='ReceivedImMsg'")
dbus.connect_signal("im.pidgin.purple.PurpleInterface",
function(...)
    -- do something
end)
