TypeError: can't compare datetime.datetime to str

[Daniel Holbach]

Up until now I have no idea why this happens.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./process-queues", line 17, in <module>
    main()
  File "./process-queues", line 12, in main

Great work in figuring this out.

The reason this didn't become a more obvious problem is that normally the cache would be set up, the app would be added, the data saved (and modified as you found out), and the for loop would move on to the next app. In our case there are a few apps which are processed twice, because they turn up in several myApps queues, which seems like another bug to me. :-)
