Ganglia reporter fails with meter

[hstern]

The following code causes the Ganglia reporter to crash with a TypeError. Metrology version is 0.9.0. Python ganglia version is 0.2.4 (latest).

from metrology import Metrology
from metrology.reporter.ganglia import GangliaReporter

meter = Metrology.meter('meter')
meter.mark()

reporter = GangliaReporter("Group Name", "localhost", 8649, "udp", interval=1)
reporter.start()
reporter.join()

Exception is:

I guess this has been fixed by cyberdelia/ganglia#1. Thanks for tracking this down.
