13 years ago Hmm. It looks like the failure is in json.loads, so that means that we should check to see what value is keyed by the result of getRedisIdByScreenName(SCREEN_NAME, 'info.json') in redis. It should be a valid JSON value, but apparently it isn't, which makes me wonder how it got there.
Can you do these things:
1) Resolve the string value for getRedisIdByScreenName(SCREEN_NAME, 'info.json') by adding in a "print >> sys.stderr, getRedisIdByScreenName(SCREEN_NAME, 'info.json')" statement just before that line. 2) Try to inspect that value to see what it is. You might find the redis CLI utility to be helpful for this (It should be in your redis/bin directory and is pretty intuitive to work with. You'd tell it something like "get KEY" in this case.) Or, you might enter into an interactive interpreter session, connect to redis and poke around.
It could also be helpful to know the version of Redis you're using (2.x?) as well as the Redis python package. You can figure out the latter by printing out redis.file in your script.
Let me know what you discover. I'll be standing by to help in any way that I can.
