I am trying to right a Google Cloud Platform app in python with Flask that makes an MQTT connection. I have included the paho python library by doing pip install paho-mqtt -t libs/. However, when I try to run the app, even if I don't try to connect to MQTT. I get a weird error about IP address checking:
RuntimeError: error('illegal IP address string passed to inet_pton',)
It seems something in the remote_socket lib is causing a problem. Is this a security issue? Is there someway to disable it?
Relevant code:
from flask import Flask
import paho.mqtt.client as mqtt
import logging as logger
app = Flask(__name__)
# Note: We don't need to call run() since our application is embedded within
# the App Engine WSGI application server.
#callback to print out connection status
def on_connect(mosq, obj, rc):
logger.info('on_connect')
if rc == 0:
logger.info("Connected")
mqttc.subscribe('test', 0)
else:
logger.info(rc)
def on_message(mqttc, obj, msg):
logger.info(msg.topic+" "+str(msg.qos)+" "+str(msg.payload))
mqttc = mqtt.Client("mqttpy")
mqttc.on_message = on_message
mqttc.on_connect = on_connect
As well as full stack trace:
