Uploading no longer possible

[GoogleCodeExporter]

= Versions

youtube-upload: 0.7.3
python: 2.7-9.40.1
python-gdata: 2.0.18-1.2

= Describe the steps

At first I got the error as reported in Issue 130 
(https://code.google.com/p/youtube-upload/issues/detail?id=130#c2), so did  
what "timo" said. Then I tried logging in with this "fake email" and uploaded a 
video. That's all working fine.

BUT when I try to upload a vid via this script, this is what I get:

Login to Youtube API: email='ytdlder-0861@pages.plusgoogle.com', 
password='************'
Install pycurl to upload the video using HTTP
Start upload using basic gdata API: test.mp4

    str = '%s: %s' % (header, '\r\n\t'.join(values))
TypeError: sequence item 0: expected string, int found

What's causing this?

Thanks in advance!

I have no idea why is this. In my Python 2.7.5 I don't see that line in 
httplib.py, it seems they have refactored it. If you know some python you can 
try to debug it to see what values contains?

Ok, so this is the function:

def putheader(self, header, *values):
    if self.__state != _CS_REQ_STARTED:
        raise CannotSendHeader()
    str = '%s: %s' % (header, '\r\n\t'.join(values))
    self._output(str)

I then printed out the "values":
('identity',)
('www.google.com',)
('140',)
('application/x-www-form-urlencoded',)
Install pycurl to upload the video using HTTP
Start upload using basic gdata API: test.mp4
('gdata.youtube.com',)
('Python-urllib/1.17',)
('identity',)
('uploads.gdata.youtube.com',)
(1,)

So yeah, the last entry is in fact an INT. So I added the following for a 
quick'n'dirty fix:
values = tuple(str(v) for v in values)

This seems to work as it starts to upload. But... it never seems to finish. 
I'll try it a view more times; could be my internet (Fr. afternoon).

So, as I don't really wanna keep my code in the original Python code itself^^: 
is there anything you/I can add in your script?

Thanks!

This integer in "(1,)" is causing the problem. Total hack, try: 

str = '%s: %s' % (header, '\r\n\t'.join(map(str, values)))

This alone doesn't work, because "they" are using the function name for the 
variable "str":
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'str' referenced before assignment

But if I change it to this, it works:
str1 = '%s: %s' % (header, '\r\n\t'.join(map(str, values)))
self._output(str1)

Thanks, I can now upload again!

I have to say, great support and fast response time :-)

Oh, overshadowing a builtin with a variable name in a core module, naughty 
python devs  :)

Glad it worked! this should help people having the same problems.
