Binary blob traits are returned as a bytearray.

None is returned when the trait is not found on the geometry.

Parameters:traitName (str) – The name of the geometry trait.
Return type:bool, int, long, float, six.string_types, bytearray, bytes or None
Returns:The trait value.
Raises:FMEException – An exception is raised if there was a problem in retrieving the trait value.
