[04:42] <wxl> hey folks looking for a little help with authentication https://lists.launchpad.net/launchpad-users/msg06709.html
[04:47] <wgrant> wxl: Which version of launchpadlib are you using, and which distro?
[04:48] <wgrant> It looks like your system Python doesn't have a working certificate store configured.
[04:48] <wxl> aw jeez i thought i included that wgrant
[04:48] <wxl> 1s
[04:49] <wxl> wgrant: so this is lubuntu 14.04 with launchpadlib 1.10.2+ds-2
[04:50] <wgrant> wxl: Hm, in that case you should just apt-get install python-launchpadlib
[04:50] <wgrant> No need to easy_install it.
[04:50] <wgrant> Oh, maybe you did.
[04:50] <wgrant> But you have a manually installed httplib2.
[04:50] <wxl> wgrant: that i did :)
[04:50] <wgrant> That's the problem there. Your system Python path is polluted with manually installed packages of the wrong version.
[04:51] <wxl> wgrant: nope. 0.8-2build1 from us.archive.ubuntu.com
[04:51] <wgrant>    File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/httplib2-0.9-py2.7.egg/httplib2/__init__.py",
[04:51] <wgrant> You've got a manually installed 0.9.
[04:51] <wxl> huh
[04:51] <wxl> weeeeird
[04:52] <wxl> well i got launchpad is temporarily unavailable
[04:52] <wxl> that's a bonus :)
[04:53] <wgrant> staging's down for about 24 hours each weekend to update its database.
[04:53] <wxl> yeah 503
[04:53] <wgrant> Consider using qastaging instead.
[04:53] <wxl> okie dokie
[04:53] <wxl> i guess i could use production too
[04:53] <wxl> i'm not doing anything that writes
[04:53] <wgrant> Since it's RO, yeah.
[04:54] <wxl> wgrant: you're my hero :)
[04:55] <wgrant> Excellent, you just removed the bad httplib2?
[04:55] <wxl> odd though that confirmed_email_addresses for people i know have confirmed email addresses are 0
[04:55] <wxl> yepp
[04:56] <wgrant> Ah, that's a somewhat unfortunate API wart.
[04:56] <wgrant> A person's preferred address does not currently appear in the confirmed_email_addresses collection.
[04:57] <wxl> oh jeez
[04:57] <wgrant> You need to retrieve it explicitly from preferred_email_link
[04:57] <wxl> ok i guess i'll used preferred
[04:58] <wxl> someone needs to mention that in the reference docs
[04:58] <wxl> *ahem* :)
