** Description changed:
In the event serialization format, the third array is array of bytes or
ay as dbus signature.
When an event enters an extension, it looks like
Event([dbus.Array([u'', u'1292500628312', u'', u'',
u'application://foo.desktop'], signature=dbus.Signature('s')), [Subject([u'',
u'', u'', u'', u'', u'', u''])], dbus.Array([], signature=dbus.Signature('y'))])
which implies that payload is array of bytes
Now look at _zeitgeist/engine/datamodel.py at line 58
where you get the line
>> popo.append(str(ev[2]))
Really so when you do str() on dbus.Array([], signature=dbus.Signature('y'))
you get "dbus.Array([], signature=dbus.Signature('y'))" instead of the
contents of bytes converted to string
-
- Now when you call Event.get_plain on
