It compiles without any problems.
When I try to start it as user, same error:

Those are two different errors. The first is:

File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/dbus/bus.py", line 122, in __new__
   bus = cls._new_for_bus(address_or_type, mainloop=mainloop)
dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did
not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did
not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the
reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

The second is:

 File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/multiprocessing/synchronize.py", line 75,
in __init__
   sl = self._semlock = _multiprocessing.SemLock(kind, value, maxvalue)
OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied


At a first guess, try python-updater as root.

I run "python-updater" it did not help :-/
