Description Ted Ross 2009-04-29 11:33:37 EDT

The qpid CLI utilities will sometimes display Python stack traces when an error occurs.  They should be modified such that all error cases result in a user-understandable error message.

Comment 3 Nuno Santos 2010-05-26 11:01:19 EDT

This issue has been fixed in the meanwhile, the exception-generating code (related to calling a non-existing method __repr__() on python 2.4) is no longer present in the codebase.
