I think we can bump the Python dependency to Python 2.6 by now, and fix this the right way.

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 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'))]) you get [[u'', u'1292500628312', u'', u'', u'application://foo.desktop'], [[u'', u'', u'', u'', u'', u'', u'']], "dbus.Array([], signature=dbus.Signature('y'))"] Not what you expect _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~zeitgeist Post to : zeitgeist@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~zeitgeist More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
