Bug 587671

Created attachment 410489 [details]
The testing client (functional on qpid 0.5 version)

Description of problem:

There is observed change in the python low level API between last stable (0.5 qpid release) and current (qpid 0.7 candidate)

Python code snippet:

  if host is None:
      host = "localhost"

  self.sessionID = "rhts_%s.%d_%s_{%s}" % \
              (os.uname()[1], os.getpid(), sid, str(time.localtime()))
  self.conn = Connection( connect(host, port),
                          username=uname, password = passwd )
  # starting connection with timeout
  self.conn.start(timeout=self.timeout)
  # creating session with timeout
  #self.session = self.conn.session(self.sessionID)
  self.session = self.conn.session(name=self.sessionID, timeout=self.timeout)
>>self.mclient = managementClient(self.conn.spec)
  self.mchannel = self.mclient.addChannel(self.session)


Causes following Attribute Error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "bz456272.py", line 125, in ?
    aq.append(AddQueue(i, quid[i]))
  File "bz456272.py", line 42, in __init__
    self.mgr.Connect("localhost", 5672, sid=id)
  File "rhtslib_management.py", line 55, in Connect
    self.mclient = managementClient(self.conn.spec)
AttributeError: Connection instance has no attribute 'spec'

Questions:
1] Could you evaluate the change effect on existing code around (the world)
   and summarize that this change is intended, please?
2] Could you review whether release note will be necessary if change is intended, please?
3] Could you suggest workaround for existing application[s], please?

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run broker
2. launch the attached client against the broker
3. see the Attribute error
  
Actual results:
Client does not run, because of slight change in the API.

Expected results:
Client should run (modified or untouched depends on issue review done by devel).
