Is there a reason you need to call GetString()? I would recommend that
you work around the problem by storing the strings in the Python
script along with the corresponding OBSmartsPattern?
The underlying problem is that pointers to objects are not wrapped by
the code. This is most easily fixed by changing the API. However, I
don't like to do this if the problem can be worked around by the user.

All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a
definitive record of customers, application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. Business sense. IT sense. Common sense.
