Description virtualasdffdsa 2013-05-28 16:54:17 UTC 
when trying to access an entry of the journal with the systemd.journal.Reader class, i get the following error:

  File "/usr/lib/python3.3/site-packages/systemd/journal.py", line 169, in _convert_field
    return convert(value)
TypeError: descriptor 'decode' requires a 'bytes' object but received a 'str'
Comment 1 virtualasdffdsa 2013-05-28 16:56:09 UTC 
two lines above, it catches ValueException Errors, altough I think it should catch TypeErrors (which occur)
replacing line 167 "except ValueError:" with "except TypeError:" works fine

This might be fixed in http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/commit/?id=0a0c35d151570.

If the above bugfix does not solve your problem, please provide python and systemd-python versions, and the offending journal or journal entry (from journalctl -o export).

I'm pretty sure this is fixed by the above-mentioned commit.
