Public bug reported:
A script my team uses python3-amqplib for RabbitMQ connectivity
checking, but in the case of not being able to connect, the error we get
when running from Python 3 hides the real problem behind a Python 3
variable scoping issue.
This is reproducible via: python3 -c "from amqplib import client_0_8 as
amqp; amqp.Connection()"
The above will generate this output (assuming no RabbitMQ is running on
your system):
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/amqplib/client_0_8/connection.py", line
129, in __init__
self.transport = create_transport(host, connect_timeout, ssl)
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/amqplib/client_0_8/transport.py", line
281, in create_transport
return TCPTransport(host, connect_timeout)
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/amqplib/client_0_8/transport.py", line
85, in __init__
raise socket.error(msg)
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'msg' referenced before assignment
I would instead expect the following, which I see on Bionic when running
the same command from above, but via Python 2 instead:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/amqplib/client_0_8/connection.py",
line 129, in __init__
self.transport = create_transport(host, connect_timeout, ssl)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/amqplib/client_0_8/transport.py", line
281, in create_transport
return TCPTransport(host, connect_timeout)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/amqplib/client_0_8/transport.py", line
85, in __init__
raise socket.error, msg
socket.error: [Errno 111] Connection refused
In Python 2, we get "Connection refused" - in Python 3, we get a Python
error, which hides the "Connection refused" message.
