TypeError("cannot serialize '_io.BufferedReader' object",) #29

Closed solomondg closed 8 years ago

solomondg commented 8 years ago

So, trying to run this (./himawaripy.py), it outputs the following: `$user@$hostname:~/Downloads/himawaripy$ ./himawaripy.py Updating... Latest version: 2016/02/05 18:00:00 GMT

Traceback (most recent call last): File "./himawaripy.py", line 91, in main() File "./himawaripy.py", line 63, in main res = p.map(download_chunk, product(range(level), range(level), (latest,))) File "/usr/lib/python3.5/multiprocessing/pool.py", line 260, in map return self._map_async(func, iterable, mapstar, chunksize).get() File "/usr/lib/python3.5/multiprocessing/pool.py", line 608, in get raise self._value multiprocessing.pool.MaybeEncodingError: Error sending result: '<multiprocessing.pool.ExceptionWithTraceback object at 0x7f373e9737f0>'. Reason: 'TypeError("cannot serialize '_io.BufferedReader' object",)'`

This is on Debian Stretch, /usr/bin/env python3 --version returns Python 3.5.1+, pillow is installed, running XFCE4. Did I do something wrong, or is this a legitimate problem?

I got a very similar error when I changed the width or height variables under the configuration section of the script. Changing them both back to the default of 550 allowed the script to run.

Sorry for the confusion: The variables height and width are the height and width of one tile. You shouldn't change those variables, but as you increase the level, more tiles will be downloaded and thus the resolution and the quality of the image will increase as well.

Now height and width variables are moved from Configuration to prevent further confusion.
