everpad-provider: TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'http_proxy'

[e2jk]

I've installed Everpad from the PPA 3 days ago, and since yesterday Everpad doesn't sync anymore. I believe (can't assure/remeber 100%) that this started to happen when I instructed Everpad to Start with system.

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04, the version I installed throught the PPA is 2.5.7-0~precise. When opening my session, I get this Ubuntu crash report window:

If I killall everpad everpad-provider everpad-lens and then run everpad-provider from the command line, I get the following traceback:

emilien@galileo:~$ everpad-provider --verbose
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/everpad/provider/sync.py", line 454, in run
    self.init_network()
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/everpad/provider/sync.py", line 470, in init_network
    self.note_store = get_note_store(self.auth_token)
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/everpad/provider/tools.py", line 64, in get_note_store
    user_store = get_user_store(auth_token)
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/everpad/provider/tools.py", line 56, in get_user_store
    http_proxy=get_proxy_config(urlparse(user_store_uri).scheme))
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'http_proxy'

I am not behind any kind of proxy or vpn.

Doing a bit of investigation: The call that goes wrong is in get_user_store, in the file everpad/provider/tools.py:

user_store_http_client = THttpClient.THttpClient(user_store_uri,
            http_proxy=get_proxy_config(urlparse(user_store_uri).scheme))

It passes to the init of THttpClient.THttpClient (class imported from thrift.transport) a parameter called http_proxy.

i've located thrift.transport on my system:

emilien@galileo:~$ locate THttpClient
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/thrift/transport/THttpClient.py
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/thrift/transport/THttpClient.pyc
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/evernote-1.25.0-py2.7.egg/thrift/transport/THttpClient.py
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/evernote-1.25.0-py2.7.egg/thrift/transport/THttpClient.pyc
/usr/share/pyshared/thrift/transport/THttpClient.py

This is the init of THttpClient for the different files:

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/evernote-1.25.0-py2.7.egg/thrift/transport/THttpClient.py
    def __init__(
        self,
        uri_or_host,
        port=None,
        path=None,
        proxy_host=None,
        proxy_port=None
    ):

/usr/share/pyshared/thrift/transport/THttpClient.py
  def __init__(self, uri_or_host, port=None, path=None, http_proxy=None):

(and /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/thrift/transport/THttpClient.py is symlinked to /usr/share/pyshared/thrift/transport/THttpClient.py so it's the same content)

So the version of thrift that is included with evernote-1.25.0-py2.7.egg does not have a parameter called http_proxy, causing this issue. I assume that if the Thrift version that is packaged separately for Ubuntu/Debian was used (see #382) this would not happen?

Is Everpad including an old (or newer?) version of Thrift, which does not have this http_proxy argument?

I've seen quite a few issues reporting not being able to sync, I've read through them but they all seem to be related to other causes (output of everpad-provider --verbose showing that it does sync at least some notebooks, etc.)

EDIT: removed unnecessary details.

I've renamed the folder /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/evernote-1.25.0-py2.7.egg/thrift/ to something else, and now it's syncing correctly!

Is it possible to remove the thrift code from Everpad's source code, and use the Ubuntu/Debian packaged version instead?

No, packaged version of thrift not work with evernote ssl certificates.

Well, for me it did, after I removed the Thrift package that came with Ever pad, it synced all fine, instead of throwing this Exception...

I'm confused, and not sure what is going on:

https://github.com/nvbn/everpad/blob/develop/everpad/provider/tools.py#L45:

    user_store_http_client = THttpClient.THttpClient(user_store_uri,
            http_proxy=get_proxy_config(urlparse(user_store_uri).scheme))

And from https://github.com/nvbn/everpad/blob/develop/thrift/transport/THttpClient.py#L36

  def __init__(self, uri_or_host, port=None, path=None, http_proxy=None):

So in the repository, the init() for the THttpClient class from the everpad-included Thrift correctly has the http_proxy argument. But, as mentioned in the original post, what I have on my local machine installed at /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/evernote-1.25.0-py2.7.egg/thrift/transport/THttpClient.py (and I'm assuming this file, in the folder called "evernote-1.25.0-py2.7.egg", comes from Everpad?) does not have that http_proxy argument:

    def __init__(
        self,
        uri_or_host,
        port=None,
        path=None,
        proxy_host=None,
        proxy_port=None
    ):

Any idea what that file is, or where it comes from? Is there something wrong with the package for Ubuntu 12.04? It seems this doesn't affect all users ;) Or is "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/evernote-1.25.0-py2.7.egg" not provided by the Everpad package from the PPA?

To fix it I had to edit /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/everpad/provider/tools.py and remove

 ,
            http_proxy=get_proxy_config(urlparse(user_store_uri).scheme)
