Running gyb-setup.bat error: UnboundLocalError: local variable 'local_server' referenced before assignment #370

Trying to download mail for a GSuite Free user and seeing an error on setup. Tried both gyb-setup.bat and the command below. Using the latest gyb.zip on Windows 11:

C:\Desktop\email backup>gyb --action create-project --email email@customdomain.co.uk Process Process-2: Traceback (most recent call last): File "multiprocessing\process.py", line 315, in _bootstrap File "multiprocessing\process.py", line 108, in run File "gyb.py", line 894, in _wait_for_http_client UnboundLocalError: local variable 'local_server' referenced before assignment

gyb then just hangs.

Tried again with a fresh gyb download in a new folder with a @gmail.com account instead of a GSuite account .. same thing:

D:\Gmail Backup>gyb --action create-project --email <email>@gmail.com Process Process-2: Traceback (most recent call last): File "multiprocessing\process.py", line 315, in _bootstrap File "multiprocessing\process.py", line 108, in run File "gyb.py", line 894, in _wait_for_http_client UnboundLocalError: local variable 'local_server' referenced before assignment

1.55 works okay

1.60 gives this error gyb.exe: error: unrecognized arguments: --multiprocessing-fork parent_pid=5316 pipe_handle=708

1.61 and 1.6.2 give the error in the above comments

For whatever reason, tried again today and it works fine (other than the OAUTH setup procedure you need to go through which isn't documented).
