upload_video.py - TypeError: argument of type 'NoneType' is not iterable about youtube-api-samples

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The sample code uses a chunksize of -1 (all at once):

https://code.google.com/p/youtube-api-samples/source/browse/samples/python/uploa
d_video.py#104

  media_body=MediaFileUpload(options.file, chunksize=-1, resumable=True)

so it never chunks, thus it never runs the chunking code, which is where this 
bug lives.

I'm sad too
Any fix for that?

Thanks,

Nope.

The same code (and bug) is also here:
https://github.com/youtube/api-samples/blob/master/python/upload_video.py#L131-L
135

I stared to work on a fix, but testing error handling is hard, so I just gave 
up and set chunksize=-1.

I added a simple line of code, it worked beautifully (check None for response):

      .....
      status, response = insert_request.next_chunk()
      if response is not None:
        if 'id' in response:
      ...

I think you moved the bug to this:

if error is not None:
print error
retry += 1
if retry > MAX_RETRIES:
exit("No longer attempting to retry.")

You don't set error, so it is still None, so retry will never get incremented, 
so it may loop forever.  

Which may be better than erroring, but still not right.  
I was hoping that by now someone would have fixed the code but I guess it isn't 
a priority.

I haven't looked at api code but I think that response will be None until the 
last chunk is sent.
error is not None only when we have an exception from 
insert_request.next_chunk()
The sample code has MAX_RETRIES so it won't loop forever.
