[Fab-user] binascii.Error: Incorrect padding

[Jonah Werre]

I'm getting this error when I deploy to both staging and production environments which are two different servers.

$ fab update_staging:v0.043

[address@hidden] Executing task 'update_staging'

[address@hidden] run: cd /var/myurl.com; git fetch origin

binascii.Error: Incorrect padding

There is also another member of the team who is using the script just fine. I assume this was just an authentication error but I am able to ssh into all the servers. I'm at a loss, any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
