Error running oak-online-alter-table

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm having trouble running this, and it seems that there are either some 
differences in my Python installation that it doesn't handle gracefully, or 
that it's finding an error it doesn't know how to handle.  I am not experienced 
enough with Python to have an opinion.  It always seems to exit with this, no 
matter what error it encounters (e.g. cannot log into MySQL):

-- ERROR: 'str' object is not callable
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/oak-online-alter-table", line 954, in ?
    exit_with_error(err)
  File "/usr/bin/oak-online-alter-table", line 853, in exit_with_error
    exit(1)
TypeError: 'str' object is not callable

Here is the full information:

I think this is a duplicate of Issue 7
Can you please try the latest source from trunk: 
http://code.google.com/p/openarkkit/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk%2Fopenarkkit%2Fsr
c%2Foak
(it is not yet distributed in package format) and test whether it solves the 
problem?

Thank you
