Hello! I am seeing a TypeError when configuring a cluster handle, and it seems like it is *probably* some sort of versioning/build related issue, but I wanted to get some clarity here. Also, if it is a bug, I am not exactly sure how to register it, so some pointers there would be great.
The description of the issue is that the rados.py module (<path-to-pythonlib>/python3.6/site-packages/rados.py) has code of the following nature:
...
if clustername is not None and not isinstance(clustername, str):
raise TypeError('clustername must be a string or None')
...
ret = run_in_thread(
self.librados.rados_create2,
(
byref(self.cluster),
c_char_p(clustername),
c_char_p(name),
c_uint64(flags)
)
)
but calling `c_char_p(<str>)` throws a TypeError ("bytes or integer address expected instead of str instance"). This leads me to believe that at some point, or for some versions, c_char_p took a string and now for my environment it doesn't. I went through the rados.py file and byte-encoded the strings (using "string".encode('utf-8')), and the TypeError is no longer thrown, but I haven't yet tested much further in order to know if I've shot myself in the foot. I tried looking for the source, but couldn't quite figure out where this code is generated from, or kept. The closest I seem to be to finding the source is this file: https://github.com/ceph/ceph/blob/master/src/pybind/rados/rados.pyx
I would appreciate some help/insight/guidance as to a proper fix, if this bug was filed before (how could it not? but also I couldn't find when searching the issue tracker), and where to report if it is unreported.
Thanks!
