In a python caller:
wkt = feature.getAttribute('_geometry')
print type(wkt)
>>> <type 'bytearray'>
I think that's weird because WKT stands for Well Known Text and should be just string object. In my experience FME is the only tool where WKT geometry is not a string. Why FME store WKT in a bytearray object?

in a python caller:
wkt = str(feature.getAttribute('_geometry').decode("ascii", "ignore"))
print type(wkt)
>>> <type 'str'>
here is another and easier way to do get the same thing:
wkt = feature.exportGeometryToOGCWKT()
This way you can also skip the GeometryExtractor before the PythonCaller.
