logout asks for user to login to complete action

This is taken from a user on the anaconda mailing list. He’s seeing some pretty weird behavior.

(root)$ anaconda --version

(root)$ anaconda login

@PeterDSteinberg to reproduce, can you try to log in and then remove the token from the gui /settings/access -> details -> Revoke Token.

Then try running the anaconda logout command.

@dsludwig – I only had ‘–add-channels default’ listed, with no other channels or tokens listed.

$ conda config --get channels
--add channels 'defaults'
$ 

@srossross – Latest release of what? ‘conda update conda’ didn’t fix it. A ‘conda update anaconda’ appears to allow me to logout without asking for me to login again. But even with an updated conda and anaconda, login doesn’t appear to recognize that I’m logged in properly:

$ 
$ conda --version
conda 3.18.9
$ anaconda --version
anaconda Command line client (version 1.2.1)
$ python --version
Python 2.7.11 :: Anaconda 2.4.1 (x86_64)
$ anaconda logout

I also still get the same series of errors if I try ‘conda create -n test_r -c r r-essentials’ as above. If I let the error loop run for a while it eventually faults out with a “RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded in cmp”.
