listen() returning error

[stefanhdao]

Getting the following error from the listen() function.

Exception in thread Thread-2:

With the following lines,

print r
print '-----'
print r.text

I got this output

I have the same issue

I'm getting a similar but slightly different error.

Thanks @Zulex, it seems to fix the bug. I hope it will be merged soon.

Getting the same error as @dstelzer , and @Zulex , the fix you specified does not help either.

Here's the detailed traceback:

I tried the fix, and it seemed to work all right. You just need to use the fork... and update to the branch where the fix is (the branch master is identical to the original branch). I hope this fix gets accepted!
