[Spacewalk-list] create_channel: cannot marshal None unlessallow_none is enabled

[Wojtak, Greg]

I got the same error when I was trying to create my first channel yesterday.  I had to do:

./create_channel.py --user=<admin-user> --password=<admin-password> --label=centos-5-i386 --name "CentOS 5 32-bit" --summary "32-bit CentOS 5 channel"

See if that helps.  I'm still stuck with the broken links within Spacewalk, so I didn't get much further than that, but it's one step closer than I was.

I get failure message if i want to create channel
I use:
# ./create_channel.py --label=fedora-9-i386 --name "Fedora 9 32 bit" -- summary "32-bit Fedora channel"

I download the create_channel.py from https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/UploadFedoraContent 

Error message:

    raise TypeError, "cannot marshal None unless allow_none is enabled"
TypeError: cannot marshal None unless allow_none is enabled

What is my mistake?
System: CentOS 5.2
