fb.auth.createToken() fb.login() no longer works

[ClaireCJS]

As of 3 days ago, this stuff just simply does not work anymore. I've been using the same script daily for over 2 yrs, and now it won't work and hasn't worked for the longest period of time since I started.

I can't claim to understand the situation, but i'd love to know what's going on.

python25 c:\bat\fbupload.py -a "20110429 - Carolyn" -d "Picture taken on 2011/04/29." -n
Traceback (most recent call last):

Thanks.

from facebook's python sdk repo:
https://github.com/facebook/python-sdk

"This SDK is deprecated. This SDK does not support the new cookie format we rolled out as part of the OAuth migration. We have no plans to add this support. Feel free to clone this repository and modify."

so, i have not parsed the php code to know the difference in the implementation of the headers in the requests.. but i'm assuming it would be quite easy to duplicate how the headers for the requests and cookies are being passed

I abandoned this platform 9 mos ago due to that issue. Was a pain rewriting everything to use FbCmd, as a few of my particulars require modifying the actual library, so I had to add a couple lines to FbCmd... but... FbCmd actually works, worked then, and works now, so that's the direction I went.
