Due to a new update my conky.rc broke (again). The script that shows the status of my email box (imap.py) now failed with the following message:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "./imap.py", line 37, in <module> server.login(username,password) File "/usr/lib/python3.1/imaplib.py", line 517, in login typ, dat = self._simple_command('LOGIN', user, self._quote(password)) File "/usr/lib/python3.1/imaplib.py", line 1067, in _quote arg = arg.replace('\\', '\\\\')
This guy explains how to solve it. As a quick fix I added a new line to /usr/lib/python3.1/imaplib.py on position 1067.
arg = arg.decode("utf-8")
Though this solution will only work until the next update, for now it will do.
