Samy,

The context in code is fairly easy to look up in git by using the
location string as a reference can often shed some light on strings
like this:

/home/garycmartin/Activities/Analyze.activity/ps_watcher.py:261


 Calling <Buddy %s>.GetJoinedActivities()
http://git.sugarlabs.org/analyze/mainline/blobs/master/ps_watcher.py#line261

 <Buddy %(path)s>.GetProperties() -> %(props)r
http://git.sugarlabs.org/analyze/mainline/blobs/master/ps_watcher.py#line370

I'm not really a Python programmer, but I think your interpretation is
correct from the overall context surrounding those lines, take a look
and judge for yourself.
