Which version of python-nitrate supports TestCase.get() ? The proposed workaround is not working for me.

ping any update there?

Sorry for the late response, you have used python-nitrite which maintained by Petr Šplíchal<psplicha>, you can contact with him for help.

Petr,
please see previous comments. Is this a client side bug in the end?

Hi. As for now, the "create_date" attribute is not provided by the
nitrate module. I only added those attributes which were needed /
available at the time when I wrote the module. It should be quite
easy to add it. I see the value is correctly provided by XMLRPC.
Moving the bug to python-nitrate component.

proposed patch

The attached patch works for me. Please build a new version of the module as soon as you can.

Thanks for the patch. I've applied a slightly adjusted version
into the devel branch including a simple unit test case:
https://github.com/psss/python-nitrate/commit/981757a

You can try the fresh python-nitrate from the testing repo:
http://psss.fedorapeople.org/python-nitrate/testing/download/
Please, note that it's still a little bit experimental ;-)
