Traceback (localtunnel-beta fails on first launch)

[dxjones]

I tried to install and run Localtunnel on my Mac, but it failed with the Traceback below.

My system is Mac OSX 10.6.8, Python 2.6.1

# which localtunnel-beta
/usr/local/bin/localtunnel-beta

# localtunnel-beta -n dxjones 80
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: No module named argparse

I also encountered a warning during the install process.

In particular, there was a problem on line 543 of greenlet.c, "'err' may be used uninitialized in function g_switch"

easy_install argparse should do the trick. I forgot to include that in dependencies for py 2.6

[dxjones]

You are right. "easy_install argparse" resolved the problem.

This got merged into head. I'm hoping to have another release soon and it'll go out with that.
