When using python based plugins that hook on the new-er *Message hoons (eg OnUserRawMessage), the GetParams() method on the CMessage given to the callback returns a tuple containing Swig Object of type 'unknown'.

ZNC version tested on: ZNC 1.7.0 (IPv6: yes, SSL: yes, DNS: threads, charset: yes, i18n: no, build: autoconf)
ZNC was built from source on my Ubuntu 18.04 desktop using python 3.6.5

I was asked in #znc on freenode to add some further information:

import znc

class test(znc.Module):
    description = "example case for bug report"
    module_types = [znc.CModInfo.NetworkModule]

    def OnUserRawMessage(self, msg):
        self.PutModule(str(msg.GetParams()))

above is a working test case for this bug, it will PM a response from *test on any raw message passed through znc, the PM will contain something like: (<Swig Object of type 'unknown' at 0x7f0f051c0540>, <Swig Object of type 'unknown' at 0x7f0f051c00c0>)

Also not noted in my bug report is the fact that there are swig warnings in the debug log when this occurs:
