What version of Ubuntu? SchoolTool doesn't work on Trusty yet.

[Tyeth (tyeth)]

Ubuntu 12.10,
installed from cloud vpn provided by DigitalOcean,
as a presetup install for wordpress and dependencies.

[Tyeth (tyeth)]

I read the erroroneous code used to be acceptable practise and now is reported as an error.
Something about the Sort key used being None?

What version of SchoolTool?

[Gediminas Paulauskas (menesis)]

Looks to me that the database was not initialized correctly.

There was no data entered? Delete the database and try again.

$ sudo service schooltool stop
$ sudo rm -r /var/lib/schooltool/*
$ sudo service schooltool start

[tyeth (tyethgundry)]

Tried suggested steps. No joy. Same Error.

Your School - server running SchoolTool 2.1.1<http://localhost:7080/about.html>

This means username is None, and that is very strange.

Moreover, the error happens in Basic authentication code path. Do you get a browser dialog asking for username and password when trying to access schooltool? Is this kind of authentication set up in apache?

Maybe direct access to the login page would avoid this code being invoked, try http://localhost:7080/login.html

[tyeth (tyethgundry)]

I have also manually tried to reset the admin user password as suggested if
locked out, but equally failed. Since then I have purged my copy of
schooltool and reinstalled but with no change in results.

Accessing the login page directly produced the same error.
 I have never been presented with the basic http auth request while using
schooltools.

Thanks all for your help...

Did you try deleting the database?

http://book.schooltool.org/database.html?highlight=database#how-can-i-erase-the-entire-database

[tyeth (tyethgundry)]

Deleted database according to recommended instructions before, but no change.
  Could it be a zope system config setting, as I'm running another zope python application on the server. It's a pyramid (pylons) based application.
-just a thought

Looks like you hit https://github.com/zopefoundation/ZODB3/issues/1

Pinning ZODB3 to 3.10.5 in buildout.cfg sorted this issue for us (in a different project).
