swiftclient.client.HTTPConnection not iterable, problems in function calls

[Benedikt von St. Vieth]

Hi,
while implementing against the swiftclient python lib i faced a problem:

http_connection = swiftclient.client.HTTPConnection('[url]')
swiftclient.client.put_container([url], [token], [container], http_conn=http_connection)

First, why is it required to give a url to put_container when i want to give a existing HTTPConnection object to it?
Second, and thats the bug (i would say), HTTPConnection is not iterable, therefore code sections like
    if http_conn:
        parsed, conn = http_conn
which occur in the swiftclient.client.py quite often, fail, at least in my case with python 2.7.5.

I think because of a lack of test-coverage (always a url is given) this does not show up during running the tests.

Is this a bug or is it a wrong usage of the swiftclient? If its a bug i can try to fix it.

Could you provide more details of the failure you see using:
if http_conn:
        parsed, conn = http_conn
