[Ian Barton]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: python-twitter

I am trying to run a script as a MythTV user lob. The script runs fine
from a terminal. However, when run by MythTV I get:

OSError: [Errno 25] Inappropriate ioctl for device

I am using the version of python-twitter included with Jaunty.

This appears to have already been reported upstream as
http://code.google.com/p/python-twitter/issues/detail?id=14 and a fix
committed. However, I am not sure if the fix is present in my version of
python-twitter in Ubuntu Jaunty, which is reported as 0.5-2.

Ian.
