I'm getting the same result here. Is there any way to manually add the hosting service account? What is it I'd need to name the account? What goes in the data field, the OAuth token? if so is there any way to look that up in the github account?

I should note that I upgraded from Reviewboard 1.6.6 to 1.6.9 to update my github repos. I'm using Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Jul 31 2008, 17:28:52) 
[GCC 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)] on linux2

I downgraded to ReviewBoard 1.6.8 and get the same exact error.

Having same issue here as well. Python 2.4

Python 2.4's urllib sees a 201 as an error. We'd have to find a workaround for this. I'll look into it, but it won't be in the next couple of days, unfortunately.

Python 2.5 should work. In fact, I'd recommend upgrading to at least 2.5 anyway, because RB 1.7.x won't support 2.4. You'd have to re-easy_install RB and its dependencies and perform a site upgrade.

You will need 1.6.9. This isn't an RB bug, so it's best to stay on that release.

It appears this is biting other python clients. Here's an example: https://github.com/jsmits/github-cli/issues/38

He seems to think that it's an issue in Python 2.5 as well, which jives with what I'm seeing since my install is using Python 2.5.2. I'm using Ubuntu 8.04, which relies on Python 2.5, so it doesn't look like it's just a simple apt-get install command to upgrade.
