syntax error line 235 neutron.py

Submitted by bve on Fri, 2006-12-01 15:07

fresh install of Neutron from cvs

edited the config.txt as per the README

upon executing ./neutron.py I recieve the following error:

 ./neutron.py
  File "./neutron.py", line 235
    else:
       ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

When I look at the source I see nothing obvious, however I am a relative newbie to python, experience with other languages.

The code block is as follows:

def get_true_jid(jid):
	true_jid = ''
	if type(jid) is types.ListType:
		jid = jid[0]
	if type(jid) is types.InstanceType:
		jid = unicode(jid) # str(jid)
	stripped_jid = string.split(jid, '/', 1)[0]
	resource = ''
	if len(string.split(jid, '/', 1)) == 2:
		resource = string.split(jid, '/', 1)[1]
	if GROUPCHATS.has_key(stripped_jid):
		if GROUPCHATS[stripped_jid].has_key(resource):
			true_jid = string.split(unicode(GROUPCHATS[stripped_jid][resource]['jid']), '/', 1)[0]
        else:
            true_jid = stripped_jid
	else:
		true_jid = stripped_jid
	return true_jid

Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks in advance.

syntax error line 235 neutron.py - fixed now: eek -> None None

Submitted by bve on Sat, 2006-12-02 03:51.

after a Google search I learned a bit about whitespace and python's syntax :)

However now I run ./neutron.py and it scrolls along as though it is working, with the final usless output of:

eek ->  None None

here is the complete output from neutron:

At this point there is no indication in the Wildfire admin that neutron is connected.

Any help is appreciated,

support

so is it pointless to hope for support/hints for neutron here?

Try this modified version

I'm newbie to python too, but as you pointed, it seems a tab indentation problem. When I fixed all the mistakes I could find, Neutron works again, or at least it connects:

...

Plugin: vote_plugin.py
Plugin: weather_plugin.py

You can try the modified file: neutron.py.

If it still fails with the weird 'eek' message, try to login on a jabber.org account, for example, to check if the problem is on your installation, or on Neutron...

modified version

Thanks, I had actually tested the acct with gaim and can connect.

Your version produces the same 'eek' result, and looking at the code I can tell it is an authentication failure.

setting debug=1 in line 445

445 JCON = xmpp.Client(server=SERVER, port=PORT, debug=1)

results in output which shows SASL auth failure:

DEBUG: sasl         error Failed SASL authentification:

Can I change the authentication method in neutron?

Try 5223, but better to have SASL on the server.

Maybe putting PORT=5223 on config.txt Neutron will use the old and deprecated SSL.

However, the XMPP way of connecting is STARTTLS+SASL, and Wildfire certainly supports that.

You probably want to have STARTTLS+SASL for the future. Maybe you disabled that authentication method on the server, or are using an older version?
