AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'groups'

I can't login/authenticate into PowerSchool. I haven't changed the demo.py file too much, just the username, password and the url.

Hey Tom,

Barring situations where someone is running into a breaking problem that's stopping them from working on something time sensitive, I'm holding off on making any changes to PowerAPI-python as I'm currently in the process of migrating everything over to pearson-rest.

pearson-rest uses a different authentication mechanism so this shouldn't be an issue.

If this is time sensitive, please drop me a note at henri@henriwatson.com with your PowerSchool server's URL and I'll take a closer look at this.

Cheers.

It's not urgent. Thanks for releasing your source code, it is very clean and well documented.

I have the same issue. How's the move going?

Also, will the new version support newer PowerSchool versions? My school (ps.newpaltz.k12.ny.us) is on the newest version.

Hi Luke,

Unfortunately I was unable to get the SOAP version of PowerAPI-Python to work due to a lack of good SOAP libraries for Python. Since I've graduated, I also no longer have access to a PowerSchool instance and am no longer able to continue working on this project.

You might be able to use PowerAPI-PHP or PowerAPI-Ruby as both of these use the newer SOAP APIs.

Ok. I'm not familiar with Ruby and PHP the way I am with Python, but thanks for the reply. If you are interested in continuing development, even though you've graduated, I could possibly provide a login to my school's server as everything is read-only. You're probably not interested in the project anymore, however.

This is a list of SOAP libraries in Python that I found

@The-Penultimate-Defenestrator I just ran the demo and I'm not running into this issue. I think it has to do with the way your PowerSchool is set up maybe. I'm planning on expanding this API -- let me know if you have any interest in working on it together.

I'd be interested in helping a bit. I don't have extensive knowledge of web servers and such, but I do have a broad knowledge of Python. I'd be interested to collaborate

[busterroni]

@henriwatson I just submitted a PR with a few new methods.

@The-Penultimate-Defenestrator Is the issue fixed for you? IIRC I had the same issue when I first started using this API but for some reason it's now fixed. Let me know.

[controversial]

I'll check

No, I still get 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'groups'
