The referenced line (815) is NOT in PlexConnect.py, but PlexAPI.py. It's part of the early test code for running/testing the PlexAPI functions on their own.

I have two issues with your report...

- my test code is out of date. :-(

- you somehow swapped the content of PlexAPI.py into PlexConnect.py. Try to re-download the sources (or unzip again...) to fix that.
