The traceback you provide does not show the line in question, so I am
confused as to why you would think it was causing the problem. The
purpose of the traceback is to show you where the exception occurred,
and I question whether that is happening here.

Anyway, I suspect your error might go away if you turned the first
argument of hte log.info() call into a format string such as

  log.info("refer: %s", ret)
