Hey guys. I though I was clever, and took my basic Python skills, that I got for one year ago, reading trough some tutorials and stuff.. I digged into this simple pipe-menu for the window-manager Openbox, that shows if you have new messages in GMail in the right-click Openbox menu.

I quickly found out, that the newest version wouldn't work, the only one that worked, was the slow 0.1 proof-of-concept code.

Old code (works): http://gamma.pnosker.com/files/gmail-openbox-0.0.1.py

New code (crashes): http://gamma.pnosker.com/files/gmail-openbox-0.0.3.1.py

I tried running both in Python instead of trough Openbox, and the latest code (0.0.3.1) gives me this: http://pastebin.com/m71cec523
I was wondering what in the new code makes it behave like this? I think that it looks like using the same functions with same parameters, but I couldn't find a trace of those errors.

If I try to run it as the pipe-menu (which of course doesn't work neither) Openbox says this: http://pastebin.com/m339e39d2
Hehe, Openbox' error message is quite weird, cause of course the file exists, I replaced it myself, it just won't work, but claiming it doesn't exist is a lie, and maybe a coding issue of Openbox itself.

I would really appreciate this, not only because of helping me, but also to help me understand this code and why it errors.
