How to subscribe to users presence via events. I use the following code

#!/usr/bin/python

from Yowsup.connectionmanager import YowsupConnectionManager
import time, datetime, sys, base64

target = "****"
uid = "%[email protected]" % target

username = "***"
pw = "***"




connectionManager = YowsupConnectionManager()
connectionManager.setAutoPong(True)

methodsInterface = connectionManager.getMethodsInterface()
signalsInterface = connectionManager.getSignalsInterface()


def onPresenceUpdated(jid, lastSeen):
    formattedDate = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(long(time.time()) - lastSeen).strftime('%d-%m-%Y %H:%M')
    print jid, formattedDate



def onPresenceUnavailable(jid):
    print "*********************"
    print "unavailable ", jid

def onPresenceAvailable(jid):
    print "*********************"
    print "available ", jid

def onAuthSuccess(username):
    print "*********************"
    print username
    methodsInterface.call("ready")

def onAuthFailed(username, err):
    print "*********************"
    print("Auth Failed!")



signalsInterface.registerListener("presence_updated", onPresenceUpdated)
signalsInterface.registerListener("presence_unavailable", onPresenceAvailable)
signalsInterface.registerListener("presence_available", onPresenceUnavailable)
signalsInterface.registerListener("auth_success", onAuthSuccess)
signalsInterface.registerListener("auth_fail", onAuthFailed)


methodsInterface.call("auth_login", (username, base64.b64decode(bytes(pw.encode('utf-8')))))
after the above code I use methodsInterface.call("presence_request", (uid,)) to get the user presence. I tried using methodsInterface.call("presence_subscribe", (uid,)) but it doenst seems to work. ( callbacks are never called). Is there any other way to do it? how to get the users presence rather than the lastseen (like typing, online)?
