It was PyObject. However, it looks like "unknown" data types is removed
when the file is saved.

Thus, on save, this snippet:

  <object class="GtkListStore" id="showsStore">
    <columns>
      <!-- column-name name -->
      <column type="gchararray"/>
      <!-- column-name backend -->
      <column type="gchararray"/>
      <!-- column-name data -->
      <column type="PyObject"/>
    </columns>
  </object>

becomes :

  <object class="GtkListStore" id="showsStore">
    <columns>
      <!-- column-name name -->
      <column type="gchararray"/>
      <!-- column-name backend -->
      <column type="gchararray"/>
      <!-- column-name data -->
      <column />
    </columns>
  </object>

Since adding a lot of these data types in glade by default would be
inconvenient ( the choose data type list would be huge ), perhaps these
could be added /enabled/disabled with plugins, somehow?
