Re: [Duplicity-talk] (B2) FatalBackendException: Bucket cannot be created

[MRob]

Thank you! I couldnt find the link as you did, it was waht I needed. 
Patch worked as is, and easier to retain the old version because newest 
version seem to require pip b2 package installed separate? This is big 
problem in its own because pip2 is hard to install. Its really huge 
hassle that duplicity is not python3.

So I leave duplicty at old version and go with the patch you found thank 
you so much
