(...EOFetchSpecification (instance) does not recognize initWithBaseValue: info:<nil>)

Hello Experts,

aim: import of contacts and enterprises into OGo using xmlrpc and python
approach: test using software found on OGo.org.
server-side: rpms from 07/08/2003 installed 
        on Mandrake 9.1 (see list below), according to RH-description (on 
OGo.org)
	launch with 'server launch command' below
client-side: createCSV.py with xmlrpmlib.py from Ogo.org
	adaptapted with current 
	url="http://localhost:20001/RPC2", login, and password.

	relevant python script extract:
		server = xmlrpclib.Server(url,login=login,password=password)
		idList = server.person.fetchIds("number like '*'")

Error description following below.
Questions, advise and/or suggestions wellcome!

	Martin
