Hi,

I guess Client.py or one of the libs it uses is somewhat broken. 
I get the exact same error when trying to use utilities/load_site.py 
from 2.2.0 (and Oleg  Broytmann already sent a mail with the same 
problem to this list). 
load_site from 2.1.6 works fine though, perhaps that means you can use
Client.py from 2.1.6.

cheers,
