Additional info:
if ~/.beaker_client/config does not exist, it should be created automatically and pre-filed with sane defaults

if that is not possible for some reason, some error message about missing configfile or wrong settings should be printed

saying "Connection failed, retrying. Error was: [Errno 111] Connection refused" and ending in cryptic traceback is not acceptable - connection to WHAT has failed? WHICH server has refused connection?
