Uknown RPC when using Remote Control on Android 2.2 w/Python running on Linux

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What device(s) are you experiencing the problem on?

Device: HTC Dream (Google ADP1) running Cyanogen Mod 6 Nightly (Android 2.2)

What firmware version are you running on the device?

Cyanogen Mod 6-09232010-NIGHTLY-DS (Build Number FRF91)

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. On Device, Start Private Server and note IP address (53881 for instance)
2. $ adb forward tcp:9999 tcp:53881 
3. $ export AP_PORT=9999
4. $ python
>>> import android
>>> droid = android.Android()
com.googlecode.android_scripting.rpc.RpcError: Unknown RPC.

The same command works when running scripts on the phone directly. I made sure 
that iptables wasn't blocking anything and verified that adb is actually 
listening on tcp 9999. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

This is using Python 2.6.4 on Fedora 13 i686.

Port number is wrong. the original tuturial in wiki doesnt have correct 
instruction for RPC. use following:

to find out correct port:
1. start private server on sl4a
2. select running scripts (pull down top-menu)
3. correct port is shown next to localhost. should be 5 digits. e.g. 
localhost:35252

Port number is correct. I noted that I found the ip (although I didn't mention 
the method, that's what I found through experimentation). In the example I have 
it hapPened to be 53881.  

The other port can be arbitrary as long as the user adb is running under has 
privileges to bind to that port and it matches AP_PORT.

I just bought a droid x so ill revisit this again To see if it's still an issue.

Make sure you're using the latest version of android.py: 
http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/source/browse/python/ase/android.py

If you're not, it will try to authenticate with the server. The server is not 
expecting authentication since it wasn't started by a script.

I assume this was due to an out of date android.py. Please open this again if 
you're still having trouble.

Same problem on HTC Incredible (Default HTC Kernel)
Android 2.2
Kernel: 2.6.32.17, Build 149 #1
WindowsXP

python_r7.zip
python_extras_r8.zip
python_scripts_r8.zip

Seems to randomly generate this error or the issue in

Just outcomment line 37 in android.py
    # self._authenticate(HANDSHAKE)
works for me. Seems that there is no RPC method "_authenticate".

Have started a public server and connected from PC Python2.6 with

import android
a = android.Android('192.168.178.60', 56454) # check your host and port!
