Bug#630245: libmms: Libmms uses deprecated python function BaseException.message

[Mark Janssen]

Package: libmms
Version: 0.6-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


mimms, when trying to access a MMS stream using libmms will abort with the following error:

$ mimms "mms://wm-ondemand01b.omroep.nl/public/ug-od/wm/3/media/wm3c1/vpro/44818297/windowsmedia.asf?wmt=4df4e5b3\&wmhash=70edd5d5"
Connecting ...libmms error:/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/libmimms/core.py:245: DeprecationWarning: BaseException.message has been deprecated as of Python 2.6
  print >> sys.stderr, "libmms error:", e.message
libmms connection error

It wil then immediately exit/fail.
