'bool' object not callable in pgconnection.py

[Friedrich Strohmaier]

trying to install mirrorbrain triggered an error in pgconnection.py
The problem & solution is described here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6374121/python-why-does-sqlobject-fail-in-conn-autocommit1

TypeError: 'bool' object is not callable

replacing conn.autocommit(val) by the assignment as described in the answer solves the problem

This bug has been fixed upstream in SQLOBject 1.2, and in Debian with the 0.12.4-2.1 package, Syncing this with the latest version of the Debian package looks like the way to go here.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Here's a quick workaround that helps on Ubuntu 12.04:

sed -i s/"conn.autocommit(auto)"/"conn.autocommit = auto"/g /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/sqlobject/postgres/pgconnection.py
sed -i s/"conn.autocommit(1)"/"conn.autocommit = 1"/g /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/sqlobject/postgres/pgconnection.py

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed in Ubuntu, since Quantal.

This is a significant bug in Ubuntu. If you need a fix for the bug in previous versions of Ubuntu, please do steps 1 and 2 of the SRU Procedure [1] to bring the need to a developer's attention.
