ValueError during the "fab vagrant setup_vagrant" step

[coeusthinks]

Hi there @nsh87,

Thanks for the guide. I'm coming across an issue with the "fab vagrant setup_vagrant" step. I've followed the guide as precisely as possible and have also uninstalled and reinstalled paramiko and fabric. However, installing the specific version of your paramiko did not successfully install. Some further information:

vagrant -v
Vagrant 1.9.5
python --version
Python 2.7

This is the error message that appears upon running fab vagrant setup_vagrant:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\fabric\main.py", line 757, in main
    *args, **kwargs
  File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\fabric\tasks.py", line 426, in execute
    results['<local-only>'] = task.run(*args, **new_kwargs)
  File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\fabric\tasks.py", line 173, in run
    return self.wrapped(*args, **kwargs)
  File "C:\shiny\fabfile.py", line 27, in vagrant
    if l])
ValueError: dictionary update sequence element #10 has length 0; 2 is required

Do you have any advice on how to resolve this error/issues?

Appreciate the help.

I had to change this line : ssh_config = dict([l.strip().split() for l in raw_ssh_config.split("\n")
to this : ssh_config = dict([l.strip().split() for l in raw_ssh_config.decode(encoding='UTF-8').splitlines() if l])
The problem is with the encoding in python38 and the results gives two empty lines which cannot be parsed into a dictionary
