libplist python binding doesn't work for plist.Structure.from_bin
Reported by Yin Dian | July 15th, 2011 @ 05:30 PM
TypeError: in method 'Structure_from_bin', argument 1 of type
'std::vector< char > const &'
will be raised for the following code:
import plist
s = open('somefile.plist', 'rb').read()
plist.Structure.from_bin(s)
Maybe this is because PList::Structure::FromBin expects argument of type const std::vector&, to which Python string or list of char / int could not be converted. This problem has been found in both version 1.4 and 1.6 in my test.

I've attached a fix for this based on version 1.4. The patch is very small and fairly self explanatory. I've got a ppa on launchpad with the fix at ppa:crass/ppa.

Hi,
@Glenn: I just committed your patch into the git repository. It will be available with the next release (which is not too far away).

Hello,
The patch works but seems missing from the latest git master (9ed6e05b).
