@Campbell Barton (campbellbarton) Hi! When I try running the above code as a script from the text editor in blender, I get this error in the system console:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Text", line 22, in <module>
TypeError: Required argument 'key' (pos 1) not found
Error: Python script fail, look in the console for now...

Here is an excerpt from system-info.txt as generated by the 2.8 build I am using, I hope it helps identify the build I've tested that produced this error :P :

===========================================

version: 2.80 (sub 3), branch: blender2.8, commit date: 2017-12-22 21:18, hash: fe1e2c2f89b, type: Release
build date: 2017-12-23, 01:33:42
platform: Darwin

Have you any further guidance on how to clear this error so I can continue testing? Thanks! :D

Pasting the code given in this post into blender's (blender 2.80.40) script editor and hitting the run script button gives me this output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Text", line 22, in <module>
TypeError: subscribe_rna() missing required argument 'options' (pos 5)
Error: Python script fail, look in the console for now...

Sorry, looks like its still broke

rB9df460203517a791107c6da816ab21ace803d5f4 or newer is needed, otherwise pass in set() as the last arg.
