PlexConnect-master is extracted, I have the SSL certificates in place and when I launch the plexconnect.py script....it crashes:

tom@HouseMedia:~$ sudo python /home/tom/plexconnect-master/PlexConnect.py
[sudo] password for tom:
21:52:19 PlexConnect: ***

I'm not sure what the traceback is telling me so I thought I would post this here.  Using Python 2.6.5

What wahlman.j said, but also look at the requirements, I think python 2.7 is required

Stupid. This "allow_no_value" slipped in during testing and investigating - wasn't meant to stay there.

I removed it with today's commit - just keep in mind that Python 2.6 also has some other limitations, esp. regarding the XML tree handling.

I'm not sure what part of the "readme first" post I was being directed to but I had looked through most the links provided there. Python 2.6.x is indeed supported but the reminder about it's limitations is appreciated.  

Baa: thanks for the quick-fix.  I extracted the latest version and Plexconnect.py executed properly.

The section you were being pointed to was about how to report an issue and the information to provide.
