Description Olivier Crête 2009-10-09 13:58:20 UTC 
Since Python has dynamic typing, but dbus doesn't, we need to force the passed stuff to be the right type. Whenever the type of the variant is specified by the spec, there should be code to force the variant into the right type (or produce an exception). I just spent a week discovering that python was putting an int32 instead of a uint32 and it was confusing the UI.
