What version are you using?  There were some changes a few weeks back to fix
some login problem, and there's no new release yet (you have to use git
version for it to work)

----------------------------------------

Below is a summary of the communications that took place on the [email protected] list that led to a resolution of this issue.  

I am using PyYIMt CVS 1.73.
I checked out the git version using this command:

git clone git://xmpppy.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/xmpppy/yahoo-transport

However, I was still seeing the traceback error below.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./yahoo.py", line 1322, in ?

What version of python are you running with.  This will require at least
2.4.  (2.4 also fixed many SSL bugs, that are impossible to work around in
code)

If you have to run with python 2.3, then change:
base64.b64encode(mhash.digest()).translate(base64translate)
into
base64.encodestring(mhash.digest()).translate(base64translate).replace('\n', '')

If you are running 2.3 and you can't upgrade easily, make it known, because
more and more 2.4 and 2.6 features are useful and save time.

I am running Python version 2.3.4. I made
the change to ylib.py that you suggested and it worked.  PyYIMt is
back online.  Thanks Norman!
