The event callback gets a buffer parameter which is usually something like a log message. However as it comes from C it is not necessarily well-formed (eg) UTF-8 but could contain any old sequence of bytes. In the test case provided by the reporter, we failed to encode the buffer as 'str' with this error: UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 137: unexpected end of data Use 'bytes' instead. Strictly speaking this changes the type signature of the callbacks, but our existing Python tests which just print the buffer using '%s' don't fail and in any case we don't guarantee the stability of non-C APIs.
