Hello, I've downloaded the Python PalmDB lib, but can't find any info on how to use it. I've tried reading docstrings and so far I've been able to come up with the following code:

from pprint import pprint
from PalmDB.PalmDatabase import PalmDatabase

pdb = PalmDatabase()

with open('testdb.pdb','rb') as data:
    pdb.fromByteArray(data.read())

pprint(dir(pdb))
pprint(pdb.attributes)
print pdb.__doc__

#print pdb.records

print pdb.records[10].toXML()

which gives me the xml representation of a record (?) with some nasty long payload attribute, which doesn't resemble any kind of human-readable text to me. I just want to read the contents of the pdb file. Is there a guide/tutorial for this library? What would you do to figure out the proper way to make things done in my situation?
