Hello Ken!
>From what i understand from this post: http://boredzo.org/blog/archives/2008-06-16/what-to-do-if-python- says-%E2%80%9Ccharacter-mapping-must-return-integer-none-or- unicode%E2%80%9D the problem is in the input given to the hmac library: key.translate(trans_5C) It seams like gwibber stores its account information in unicode format and the hmac library does not accept unicode characters. A quick and dirty fix to the error you posted should be encoding the unicode strings into ASCII text. I have attached a bzr diff to your branch that does this. There is no doubt a better solution to this error (maybe storing account information as ascii instead of unicode?). ** Patch added: "encode access_token and secret_token to ascii text" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gwibber/+bug/626023/+attachment/1905366/+files/gwibber.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Gwibber Bug Heros, which is subscribed to Gwibber. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/626023 Title: Gwibber does not display any messages for Google-Buzz Status in Gwibber: Confirmed Status in “gwibber” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: gwibber Although the correct settings for my Google Buzz account, Gwibber does not display any messages. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~gwibber-bugs Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~gwibber-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
