Question

I have followed the instructions found at http://code.google.com/p/pubsubhubbub/wiki/DeveloperGettingStartedGuide to setup a hub.
When I start the hub I get following warnings

$ sudo python2.5 google_appengine/dev_appserver.py pubsubhubbub/hub/

When I point my browser to http://localhost:8080 I get a nasty exceptions.AttributeError thrown in my browser & console

As a python newbie would need help, any ideas?

Answer 1

The tutorial at http://code.google.com/p/pubsubhubbub/wiki/DeveloperGettingStartedGuide is outdated, you need to use at least google app engine 1.2.8 to make it work (where New memcache offset_multi method and batch support in incr and decr. is added)
