vpoller-client error: self._sslobj.do_handshake() error: [Errno 0] Error

[chises]

Hello, i updated my "vpoller" related stuff and facing the following issue: Update commands:

apt-get update 
apt-get upgrade
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install --upgrade pyvmomi
pip install --upgrade vpoller

cd /usr/share/zeromq4-x <already done a git clone before)
git pull
./autogen.sh
./configure
make && sudo make install && make clean
sudo ldconfig

This works without any issue

pip freeze | egrep 'pyvmomi|vpoller|vconnector|requests'
pyvmomi==6.7.1
requests==2.10.0
vconnector==0.5.0
vpoller==0.7.0

vpoller-client --version
0.7.0

python --version
Python 2.7.13

After a reboot i see the following issue in vpoller-client and vpoller-worker. vpoller proxy seems to be fine.

vpoller-client --method datacenter.discover --vsphere-host VCENTER

Hey @chises,

Do you notice the same issue on other vCenter versions as well, or is it only on 6.7?

[chises]

Hi @dnaeon ,

thank you for your answer. the issue is not related to vCenter 6.7. The "old" vpoller did a great job to version 6.7 ;)

After apt-get update + pip install --upgrade the issue showed up.

Hey @chises,

Just tested it and confirmed it exists in 0.7.0.

There's however a newer version available in the Git repo, which is 0.7.1 and that one works fine.

Seems like I didn't publish the newer version on PyPI, and you got the older releases of vconnector and vpoller. I've just published v0.7.1 of vpoller and v0.5.1 of vconnector on PyPI.

Please do update to these versions and let me know how it goes.

Thanks!

[chises]

that made it!

pip install --upgrade vconnector
pip install --upgrade vpoller

..

 vpoller-client --method datacenter.discover --vsphere-host VCENTER
{"msg": "Successfully discovered objects", "result": [{"name": "DATACENTER"}], "success": 0}

pip freeze | egrep 'pyvmomi|vpoller|vconnector|requests'
pyvmomi==6.7.1
requests==2.10.0
vconnector==0.5.1
vpoller==0.7.1

Thank you very much @dnaeon
