Unable to upload to tingbot on Fedora 25

[simpz]

If I use tide to attempt to upload to the tingbot it fails with:

tbtool: Connecting to Pi...
tbtool: Multibackend cannot be initialized with no backends. If you are seeing this error when trying to use default_backend() please try uninstalling and reinstalling crypto graphy.

Process exited.

I've seen similar in other build reports but don't know enough about Python to figure this out. This is using Tide-0.4.6-134.x86_64 but also failed with the last Tide-0.4.5 RPM.

Hey simpz! Python cryptography isn't actually installed with Tide so tbtool is picking this up from your enviroment. Could you try doing the following?

sudo pip uninstall cryptography
sudo pip install cryptography

[simpz]

I can try that, but it's generally considered the wrong thing to do to move outside the RPM system for installing Python modules (and things like Perl modules etc).

pip uninstall cryptography Uninstalling cryptography-1.5.3: /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cryptography /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cryptography-1.5.3-py2.7.egg-info Proceed (y/n)? y Successfully uninstalled cryptography-1.5.3 You are using pip version 8.1.2, however version 9.0.1 is available. You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

The owner of this file was rpm -q -f /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cryptography-1.5.3-py2.7.egg-info python2-cryptography-1.5.3-3.fc25.i686

Is the shipped in Python2-cryptography too old?

pip install cryptography Collecting cryptography Downloading cryptography-1.7.1.tar.gz (420kB)

Running the pip install tries to download a newer version and compile this, fails on some deps, I can probably fix. But an RPM should install automatically all deps needed for it.

But does Tide use the 32 bit Python, therefore 32 bit cryto version? As I still have the 64 bit version installed that is possibly/probably used by built in things:

rpm -q -l python2-cryptography-1.5.3-3.fc25.x86_64 /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/cryptography /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/cryptography-1.5.3-py2.7.egg-info /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/cryptography-1.5.3-py2.7.egg-info/PKG-INFO /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/cryptography-1.5.3-py2.7.egg-info/SOURCES.txt /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/cryptography-1.5.3-py2.7.egg-info/dependency . . etc

[joerick]

On linux, Tide uses the system Python, so whatever it finds on $PATH.

If your distro has an RPM for the package, that would probably be preferable, yeah. So if the pip install doesn't work maybe try that.

[simpz]

That's my point, the system Python is installed (64 bit 2.7.12) and so is python-crytography 64 bit i.e.

/usr/bin/python -V Python 2.7.12

rpm -q -f /usr/bin/python python-2.7.12-7.fc25.x86_64

,and the crypto for this....

rpm -q -l python2-cryptography-1.5.3-3.fc25.x8664 /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/cryptography /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/cryptography-1.5.3-py2.7.egg-info /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/cryptography-1.5.3-py2.7.egg-info/PKG-INFO /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/cryptography-1.5.3-py2.7.egg-info/SOURCES.txt /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/cryptography-1.5.3-py2.7.egg-info/dependency . . etc

So what is my system missing that is stopping Tide tbtool working?

[simpz]

Still can't get this to work, turned up verbosity on this. I surprised this works, on any Linux platform if not Fedora 25. Not sure which RPM distro you have tested this on?

Does this verbose debug help:
