SADeprecationWarning: The Binary type has been renamed to LargeBinary.

There is some kind of issue with ara using sqlalchemy.

When I try to do even the simplest thing, like "ara help". I get:

/home/harosgr/workspace/venv/lib/python2.6/site-packages/sqlalchemy/sql/type_api.py:1258: SADeprecationWarning: The Binary type has been renamed to LargeBinary.

Hi @Harosgr

I'm unable to reproduce this right now, can you please let me know how you installed ara ? Also, can you provide the output of "pip freeze" ?

Do you have a way to test this under python 2.7 ? I have not tried ARA (or Ansible) on anything older than 2.7.

Hello @dmsimard

I installed ARA with PIP in a virtualenv. I just configured the callback directory in ansible.cfg and let the other options default.

my pip freeze:

DEPRECATION: Python 2.6 is no longer supported by the Python core team, please upgrade your Python. A future version of pip will drop support for Python 2.6

I'll try to test it also under python 2.7 and let you know.

[dmsimard]

That pip freeze looks good to me, pretty much the same thing as I have. Let me know what happens when testing under 2.7.

Thanks.

[Harosgr]

hey @dmsimard

python 2.7 seems to fix the problem. Thanks. =)

[dmsimard]

@Harosgr great! I'll make note of this somewhere in the documentation soon, leaving this opened in the meantime. Unfortunately I don't plan on trying to support anything older than 2.7, especially as Ansible is trying hard to push towards python 3.
