Comment 1 Stanislav Polasek 2009-03-27 06:53:38 UTC

I can confirm the same problem even using perl script, so it's not limited to python:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Frontier::Client;

my $HOST = 'localhost';
my $user = 'username';
my $pass = 'password';

my $client = new Frontier::Client(url => "http://$HOST/rpc/api");
my $session = $client->call('auth.login', $user, $pass);

my %newchannel = (
        name    => "testname",
        label   => "testlabel",
        summary => "testsummary"
);
my $cid = $client->call( "channel.software.clone", $session, "rhel-i386-as-4", \%newchannel, $client->boolean(0) );

$client->call('auth.logout', $session);

Comment 2 Stanislav Polasek 2009-03-27 06:55:29 UTC

Changed bug subject, it's not limited to python.

Comment 3 Stanislav Polasek 2009-03-31 08:47:08 UTC

I have found the cloning is actually being deprecated, so this is probably not a bug. Closing.
