[Bug 467723] Re: supplied example conf file doesn't quote newzbin username and password leading to a crash when real credentials are entered

[Severin Heiniger]

Hi TorenC,

the default configuration file contains the following lines:

# Username/Password to http://www.newzbin.com for automatic NZB downloading
Hellanzb.NEWZBIN_USERNAME = None
Hellanzb.NEWZBIN_PASSWORD = None

That's perfectly valid because None means that no username and no
password has been specified. However, you're right that the values for
NEWZBIN_USERNAME and NEWZBIN_PASSWORD need to have quotes as soon as you
add actual values.

Because of this, editing the configuration files can confuse people who
aren't acquainted to Python. May be one could check if it's also
possible to change the lines to

# Username/Password to http://www.newzbin.com for automatic NZB downloading
Hellanzb.NEWZBIN_USERNAME = ''
Hellanzb.NEWZBIN_PASSWORD = ''

or add a second comment line.

You might want to try LottaNZB. It's an user-friendly front-end for
HellaNZB that let's you manage the settings in a very comfortable way.
