Calling len() on a ViewResult raises an Exception

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I call a named view and then check the number of results by calling len().

I receive the following traceback:

  if len(result) == 0:
  File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/couchdb/client.py", line 722, in __len__
    return len(self.rows)
  File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/couchdb/client.py", line 733, in _get_rows
    self._fetch()
  File "build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/couchdb/client.py", line 727, in _fetch
    for r in data['rows']]
TypeError: string indices must be integers

Looks like the CouchDB server is returning some JSON structure that we don't 
expect here. It would help 
tremendously if you could log away `repr(data)` when you get this error.

Via IRC: seems to have been an issue with using a Server instance across 
multiple threads. httplib or httplib2 is 
apparently not thread-safe.
