I received the same error, today. This error is caused by missing dependencies as a result of an update that was pushed via the PPA. To get it working again, I had to perform the following:
> sudo apt-get install python-pip
> pip install http-parser
> sudo pip install watchdog

Note that I experienced those errors and fix them in Ubuntu 11.04.

Apologies for the terrible indentation in my example above. Apparently wordpress doesn’t like tabs in comments

So I know this post is a bit old, but I’ve been trying to figure out this issue for a while, and I feel like you’re on to something, but there are some issues.

First of all, I rewrote your function to be a bit cleaner, and offload all the string manipulation stuff to the toJSON function:

function( head, req ){
var ids = [];
var result = {
total_rows: head.total_rows,
offset: head.offset,
rows: []
};
while( row = getRow() ){
if( ids.indexOf( row.id ) === -1 ){
result.rows.push( row );
ids.push( row.id );
}
}
send( toJSON( result ) );
}

Second, there’s a fundamental flaw with this approach: You may set a limit, but that limit is handled before the duplicate removal process. Because of this, if you have any duplicates, then your final result will be less than the limit passed in on the URL. You won’t be able to reliably page through your results because of this discrepancy.

Again, I like your thinking here, but there has to be a better way to do this.

May require a restart of the autoeth and/or firefox. Just throwing it out there for those that may not immediately think of these things.

I checked your code on my machine and the build.xml doesn”t seem overriding the appcfg properties…. though I create the build.properties file.

When I run “ant update”, I’ve this error :
[java] 25% Initiating update.
[java] Your authentication credentials can’t be found and may have expired.
[java] Please run appcfg directly from the command line to re-establish your credentials.

I assume it means that appcfg takes its configuration in the cookies of java…

Do you know why it happens?

This can be done also by just creating a shortcut to Wubi and adding –32bit to the Target in properties
