Issues working with more than 50 archive downloads

[zg]

I am having an issue with the getarchive function. After putting in 50 jobs, I cannot seem to get around this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

And the command I'm attempting to run:

glacier-cmd --aws-access-key ACCESSKEY --aws-secret-key SECRETKEY --region us-east-1 getarchive ARCHIVEID

Does your archive ID by chance start with a - (hyphen) character? If so add the extra switch -- in front of it, as otherwise it's interpreted as a command line switch instead. The -- tells the script that there are no more switches, so a value starting with - won't be misinterpreted.

[zg]

No, but I did prepend -- to the beginning of every archive ID that starts with a dash (-).

I ran through the script again, with the same issue occurring again. What happened this time was that at the 51st job, the program encountered the error I pasted above. Is there some kind of limitation that is established by the program in terms of the number of jobs that it can handle? Or perhaps Amazon Glacier has a limit to the number of jobs that you can have.

Unrelated to the code. This was an issue with ArchLinux AUR package "boto-glacier-git" not using the latest version of boto.
