I don't think this is relatied to Gnome 3, because it worked well with my Gnome 3 and your error is triggered before the desktop environment calls.

This is the download line from the python script that trigger the error : res = p.map(download_chunk, product(range(level), range(level), (latest,)))

@Sutat You're right. The problem mentioned in issue #29 as well.

I have no idea about what may caused the problem, since we are just passing 2 integers and a time.struct_time object, and all of them are serializable.

No idea if this helps, but the first time I had already set the size bigger in the config, and I got this error... then I moved it back to the default 550x550, and it worked. (Pantheon on Elementary OS 0.3.2)

EDIT: confirmed, it doesn't seem to work with any non-default resolution settings, tried a whole bunch of them :(

That worked, thank you! Any idea how to get it to work at higher resolutions?

Ah, I see. :) The variables height and width is the height and width of one tile. As you increase the level, more tiles will be downloaded and thus the resolution and the quality of the image will increase as well.
