Summary     : A python library for interacting with Bugzilla
Description :
python-bugzilla is a python library for interacting with bugzilla instances
over XML-RPC. This package also includes the 'bugzilla' command-line tool
for interacting with bugzilla from shell scripts.


How reproducible:

Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run script
2.
3.
  
Actual results:

[swhiteho@sts-a ~]$ ./tasks.sh 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/msp/swhiteho/bz.py", line 38, in <module>
    res = bz.query(q)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/bugzilla/base.py", line 544, in query
    r = self._query(query)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/bugzilla/rhbugzilla.py", line 573, in _query
    self.pre_translation(query)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/bugzilla/rhbugzilla.py", line 413, in pre_translation
    include_fields.remove(oldname)
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'remove'


Expected results:

Script should complete normally.

Additional info:

This worked perfectly ok until this latest update.

Python script

Note that this script needs editing to add your username and bugzilla password at the top of it, in order to make it work. For obvious reasons I removed my password and left an empty string there.

Comment 5 Don Zickus 2012-07-27 17:04:28 UTC
Hi Steve,

I fixed your script issues.  Basically there were two problems.

One the 'column_list' was a string instead of an array.  Not sure it worked on the old RH Bugzillas, but using an array always worked both old and new, so making that change would be recommended.

The second problem was the flag stuff.  The flag stuff changed in the new RH Bugzilla so it breaks your hardcoded flagtypes.name.  Just easier to grab a 'flags' field in the 'column_list' and parse directly.  I belive it gives the same results.

Anyway I will attach a patch that has the fixes for bz.py for you to review and apply.

Cheers,
Don

This patch makes the script complete on my end.  Not sure the data is correct.

Cheers,
Don

Given Don's recommended fixes, just closing this. If python-bugzilla was in the business of making all this back compat stuff continue to work we would be in a world of hurt given all the RHBZ changes going on.
