Can only connect with backend='asyncore' #281

Hi, I'm new to LabRAD and just trying to get set up for the first time. I have installed the LabRAD manager and explorer and installed pylabrad using pip install, but when I try to open a connection using labrad.connect() I get the error "Exception: Connection lost." It does work, however, if I use labrad.connect(backend = 'asyncore'). Any idea what the problem could be? Thanks much!

You say you installed the manager and explorer. Where did those come from? The sourceforge stuff is super old and no longer maintained. Please use the manager found here.

aha! That made a difference. Thanks.
