I apologize for being as clear as I would have liked to be in my original
email, but the issue I presented only occurs from some sources. I can
drag-and-drop perfectly fine from Gedit. Other sources, such as Chromium,
Slack, and PyCharm do not work (i.e. QMimeData.text() only returns an empty
string), even though they provide a 'text/plain' format.

Another side note, it seems strange to me that QMimeData.data() returns a
QByteArray instead of a python bytes/bytearray object.

Thanks,
Bryce
