User.getFriends breaks when a user has many friends #6

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

Please type example code that produces the issue:

User('cheap_mondays', API_KEY, API_SECRET, SESSION_KEY).getFriends()

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect the list of friends of 'cheap_mondays', instead I get this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "retrieveusers.py", line 53, in <module>
    User('cheap_mondays', API_KEY, API_SECRET, SESSION_KEY).getFriends()

packages/pylast.py", line 2270, in getFriends

    parser.Parse("", True)

What version of pyLast is this?

pyLast-0.2b12.tar.gz

Please provide any additional information below.

This happens because the user cheap_mondays has almost 3,000 friends!

I guess in this case, the function should not crash, but return something or 
wait.

That's a problem with the webservice, i wrote about it in the last.fm group. I 
can do
nothing further it except recommending always using a limit value with 
User.getFriends.

Thanks for taking the time to report this.
