TypeError when starting

[jimmycleuren]

Dear,

I'm trying to setup beeswarm but cannot seem to get passed the following error:

jimmy@beeswarm-server:~/server_workdir$ beeswarm --server

When I replace SocketNames.CONFIG_COMMANDS in the corresponding line with "inproc://configCommands" it seems to work but fails on the next line with an enum. Any ideas ?

I cannot reproduce. Could you provide your versions of the following: python pyzmq gevent

Hi johnnykv,

I've got the same error like jimmycleuren. System: Ubuntu 14.04.1 with latest updates python: 2.7 pyzmq: 14.4.1 gevent: 1.0.1 beeswarm: 0.7.13

Installed in a virtuelenv, but also not working without virtualenv.

btw are you somewhere else online like jabber or irc?

[johnnykv]

@bqion ynnhoj on Freenode. Which minor version of python 2.7.9?

[berqavos]

@johnnykv thx for the other online presence sys.version_info -> 2.7.6

[johnnykv]

Root cause for this error is a conflict between enum and Enum34, where the packages would overwrite each other. A quick, not too much tested, fix would be:

pip uninstall enum
pip uninstall Enum34
pip install enum

A proper fix will be included in 0.7.14.

[berqavos]

@johnnykv wow, that was fast and your fix worked. thx!

[johnnykv]

No problem, please note that when 0.7.14 is release you will have to uninstall enum and install Enum34 again. Using Enum34 really is the most correct solutions, but it requires some code changes from my side.

[jimmycleuren]

Now it's working, thanks for the quick response !

This issue remains open until 0.7.14 is released
