Bug#487359: [rhythmbox] python-debugger doesn't work?

[Matthias Krüger]

Package: rhythmbox
Version: 0.11.5-5
Severity: minor

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
When I enable the python-debugger (Tools -> Python Debugger) the
terminal says
"

> Traceback (most recent call last):
>   File "/usr/lib/rhythmbox/plugins/python-console/pythonconsole.py", line 127, in enable_debugging
>     rpdb2.start_embedded_debugger(password)
>   File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/rpdb2.py", line 423, in start_embedded_debugger
>     fDebug
>   File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/rpdb2.py", line 13799, in __start_embedded_debugger
>     _rpdb2_pwd = as_unicode(_rpdb2_pwd)
>   File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/rpdb2.py", line 1679, in as_unicode
>     u = s.decode(encoding, 'replace')
> AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'decode'
>

"
but no more output appeared on doing other things.

Thank you for your fine work! 	 Matthias Krüger
