#65 cliFilelocker.py HTTP 500 TypeError: connect() argument 1 must be string, not Connection

[Blake]

running 2.4.5, have python 2.6 on the server and cherrypy 3.1.2
on the clientside we have python 2.7

after generating a cli key and download the cli client and conf file, we get:

$ python cliFilelocker.py
Enter your user ID [q to quit]: uname
[Critical]: HTTP 500

if you enter a non-existant user it says:

Login failed: Login failed: invalid CLI key for this userID and IP address

so it seems to be authenticating without issue.

We get this in the log file:

i installed python 2.6 on the client and still get the same error

[David Hutchins]

This should be fixed in 2.6 from current trunk. It looks like it was related to MySQLDAO which was replaced with SQLAlchemy in 2.6.
