Could not start transporter 'cf'. Error: '__init__() takes at most 3 arguments (7 given)

[dwatts3624]

I'm getting the following error when trying to run python arbitrator.py.

Running the lastest version, installed via pip running Python 2.7.3 and Django 1.5.4.

2013-09-15 16:59:35,796 - Arbitrator - ERROR - Could not start transporter 'cf'. Error: 'init() takes at most 3 arguments (7 given)'.
2013-09-15 16:59:35,797 - Arbitrator - ERROR - Could not start transporter 's3'. Error: 'init() takes at most 3 arguments (7 given)'.
2013-09-15 16:59:35,797 - Arbitrator - ERROR - Server connection tests: could not connect with 2 servers.

Thanks, in advance, for any help here.

Hrm. Something seems seriously broken there :( I don't have time to dig in further though. If you can do some debugging yourself first, I might be able to help you.

I have the same issue with the s3 transporter.

What i is discovered was that the exception was raised in
transport_s3.py
31 self.storage = S3BotoStorage(
32 self.settings["bucket_name"].encode('utf-8'),
33 self.settings["access_key_id"].encode('utf-8'),
34 self.settings["secret_access_key"].encode('utf-8'),
35 "public-read",
36 "public-read",
37 self.class.headers
38 )

the init function parameters of S3BotoStorage was changed in this revision
https://bitbucket.org/david/django-storages/diff/storages/backends/s3boto.py?diff2=02b9d8304c93&at=default

so i suspect the the code doesn't work with recent versions of django-storages anymore?

Replace the offending class instantiation with the following:

self.storage = S3BotoStorage(
    settings=self.settings
)

@adityamukho but that won't pass the S3 credentials and bucket information, I tried that and it worked, but it won't pass the credentials.

I downgraded django-storages and Django, it helped me:
sudo pip uninstall django-storages
sudo pip install django-storages==1.1.5
sudo pip install Django==1.6.10
