katcp_wrapper: Got an unexpected keyword argument 'daemon'

File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/APPLICATION/backend.py", line 17, in __init__
    self.backend = corr.katcp_wrapper.FpgaClient(CONFIG)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/corr/katcp_wrapper.py", line 88, in __init__
    self.start(daemon=True)
TypeError: start() got an unexpected keyword argument 'daemon'

I have encountered an issue when instantiating the FPGA client using the corr package's katcp wrapper. The issue arises because of the daemon argument that is not expected by the start function in the FpgaClient's __init__ method.

The issue can be resolved by removing the optional argument daemon=True

Is there a cleaner solution to this or can I submit at PR?

Just ran into this same problem. The issue is not with corr itself but rather with the compatibility with the version of katcp you are using. It looks like katcp version up to 0.5.x are fine, with the bug only appearing when using katcp 0.6.x. This is fixed by #11, but that is not yet merged.
