Hello,
I'm just starting to use twisted (having quickly read through the book "Twisted: Network Programming Essentials"), and I am unable to successfully use one of the example scripts: doc/conch/examples/ sshsimpleserver.py .
I am using python 2.5.2 and today's svn of twisted and pycrypto on RedHat AS5 x84-64. I experienced similar results with 8.1.0 .
This looks a lot like a bug in PyCrypto:
I am able to start the server with no problem, but when I start a client that connects to it, I get:
[snip] File "/usr/DiamondBack/stow/pycrypto-20080923_git-py2.5/lib/ python2.5/site-packages/Crypto/PublicKey/pubkey.py", line 76, in sign return self._sign(M, K) exceptions.TypeError: _sign() takes exactly 2 arguments (3 given)
This is a file in PyCrypto itself, calling a method in PyCrypto itself, and passing the wrong arguments. You might want to try using the last release of PyCrypto instead of the latest development snapshot. You might also want to file a bug with the PyCrypto maintainer (it seems there's a new one now) to get this fixed. Jean-Paul
