UnparsableUrlObject: Unable to parse url parameter because it was not a string or atom.url.Url with gdata-1.2.2

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I recently upgraded userprofile from 0.5 to 0.6 and it works great with Django 
1.0 except the Picasa Avatar photo 
search part.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Visit /accounts/profile/edit/avatar/search/
2. Do a search on PicasaWeb

Like 0.5, I expect to see a list of thumbnails. Instead I got the following 
stacktrace:
It appears that we are expecting a URL but instead we got a URI. 

I probably can debug further but if you have seen this and know the fix, pls 
let me know. Thanks

same here. I have the latest release of gdata.py installed via easy_install 
gdata.py

rolling back to older gdata fixes this:
easy_install gdata.py==1.1.1

Solved! It was an incompatibility of unicode/str parameter with gdata.photos. 
Thanks
so much for reporting.

Check the latest SVN trunk
