This regression makes the opensync python plugin virtually unusable. Any
sync that has modifications originating in a python based opensync
plugin will result in a TypeError exception and a premature end to the
sync. At this point any sync with this sync group becomes impossible.

The problem will not be addressed upstream because development on the
0.2x branch has ended in favour of the, as yet not release ready, 0.3x
branch. Fixes to the 0.2x branch will be required at distribution level
until 0.3x/0.40 is ready for release. The above patch is suitable in
this case.

TEST CASE:
Using a Windows Mobile device and the synce packages, create an opensync sync 
group containing the synce-opensync-plugin and another opensync plugin, eg. the 
evolution plugin
$ msynctool --addgroup test
$ msynctool --addmember test evo2-sync
$ msynctool --addmember synce-opensync-plugin
$ msynctool --configure test 1
$ synce-create-partnership test Contacts

Create a new contact on either side, and perform a sync.

$ msynctool --sync test

Modify the contact on the device (the plugin that uses the python
wrapper, modifications from the other side work ok), and run another
sync.

$ msynctool --sync test

This will fail with a TypeError.
