Comment 1 banowetz 2008-10-15 22:02:28 UTC
I have the same error, also with a new machine build!

Comment 2 John Matthews 2008-10-15 22:36:15 UTC
Seeing this error:
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'result' referenced before assignment

Typically happens when a network error occured, the "result referenced before assignment" is hiding the real problem.
