bpython : pastebin error

I'm using bpython and on F8 I'm getting this following 301 error:

Upload failed: <ProtocolError for bpaste.net/xmlrpc/: 301 Moved Permanently

Why does it routes to /xmlrpc/ ? Is there another way around in the console to be able to use the pastebin? Python 2.7.6 Ubuntu 14.04

Solution

  • From the bpython documentation:

    pastebin_url

    The pastebin url to post to (without a trailing slash). This pastebin has to be a pastebin which uses LodgeIt. Examples are: http://paste.pocoo.org/xmlrpc/ and http://bpaste.net/xmlrpc/ (default: http://bpaste.net/xmlrpc/)

    The pocoo.org pastebin is retired, so you can't use that. The default, bpaste.net, is returning a 301 error.

    curl -I http://bpaste.net/xmlrpc/

    HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently Date: Tue, 14 Oct 2014 04:56:10 GMT Content-Type: text/html Location: https://bpaste.net/xmlrpc/

    OK, so update your pastebin_url to use https, right?

    curl -I https://bpaste.net/xmlrpc/

    HTTP/1.1 404 NOT FOUND

    The problem you're having is that bpaste.net is no longer supporting the LodgeIt /xmlrpc/ url. Maybe this is only temporary, or maybe they've retired the public xml interface.

    The solution would be to find another LodgeIt pastebin that you can use, or setup your own.

    I don't know of any other public LodgeIt pastebins; maybe there are some. A google search turned up this HowTo:
