Hi I get this error:

   2015-02-15 21:36:52,889 Cannot connect to your SMTP account. Correct your config and try again. Error details:
2015-02-15 21:36:52,917 'bytes' object has no attribute 'encode'
2015-02-15 21:36:52,927 Notifier loading failed,check configuration for errors

    "%s %s" % (AUTH_LOGIN, encode_base64(user.encode('ascii'), eol='')))
AttributeError: 'bytes' object has no attribute 'encode'

However on checking config.json my details are correct:

{
    "servers": ["KS-1"],
    "zones": ["rbx", "sbg"],
    "notifier": "email",
    "use_starttls": true,
    "from_email": "<EMAIL>",
    "from_user": "<EMAIL>",
    "from_pwd": "<PASSWORD>",
    "from_smtp_host": "smtp.gmail.com",
    "from_smtp_port": 587,
    "to_email": "<SAME EMAIL>"
}

I also did this: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255

Any ideas?

You probably run it with Python 3. I plan to make it 3.4-compatible, but as a quick solution just try Python 2.x.

Hi, Thanks I got it working. I'll detail the steps.

I'm on archlinux on raspberry pi:

which python

then type for example me

/usr/bin/python , hit tab, again , then you should see python2.7

install from here https://pypi.python.org/pypi/tornado but replace python with /usr/bin/python2.7

you must do this step.

then run the script /usr/bin/python2.7 crawler.py

success!
