Config import error on Debian 6.0

[Shaps]

After installing synapse-client on a fresh install Debian Squeezy 6.0, I was getting this error when testing on localhost:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/synapse-client", line 5, in <module>
    from syncli import main
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/syncli/main.py", line 4, in <module>
    from syncli.config import get_config_path
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/syncli/config.py", line 45, in <module>
    config.read(get_config_path('synapse-client.conf'))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/ConfigParser.py", line 281, in read
    for filename in filenames:
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable

Fixed:

In this file

/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/syncli/config.py

synapse-client searches for the config file, in the "/etc/synapse" directory,
exactely on line 33:

    etc_path = join("/etc/synapse", filename)

which is wrong. The correct path on Debian is "/etc/synapse-client", so updating the line with

        etc_path = join("/etc/synapse-client", filename)

It works fine.

Have you tried doing a git pull ?

This has been fixed in last commit (ref. 02810f2)

Thanks for your contribution in any case !

No, didn't try with git, i just downloaded from the comodit repo. Should keep github repo as deafult?

I'm updating the rpm and deb repos asap !
