Initializing Client with wrong server hangs process

[PCatinean]

try: erppeek.Client('dsadas') except IOError: print "This is a error!"

Proccess hangs after this and you cannot escape it

[matrixise]

Please, could you show the traceback ? without the except IOError

Thank you

Your hostname is wrong.

If you read the code of xmlrpclib.py in the init method, you can read that

        import urllib
        type, uri = urllib.splittype(uri)
        if type not in ("http", "https"):
            raise IOError, "unsupported XML-RPC protocol"

The signature of the function is

erppeek.Client('SCHEME://HOSTNAME:PORT', DATABASE, USERNAME, PASSWORD)

or

erppeek.Client('http://localhost:8069', 'odoo', 'admin', 'admin')

Read the code and the examples or this tutorial http://wirtel.be/posts/en/2014/06/13/using_erppeek_to_discuss_with_openerp/

Thank you

Thank you for the reply matrixise, I know it is wrong I was just curious why the error thrown cannot be bypassed and it hangs the process

I confirm there's a bug due to a recursion in the __del__ method when the wrong parameter is passed to the constructor. Thank you @PCatinean

The fix will be in 1.6.2
