Can't create connection to Arango server

Arango 3 and Python 2.7 on Ubuntu (localhost). Maybe I’m missing something, but I can’t even execute your code examples without throwing this error.

>>> from pyArango.connection import *
>>> conn = Connection()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "pyArango/connection.py", line 63, in __init__

Hi,

Yes in 3.0 authentication is now active by default (which was not the case in previous versions). It means that for all the functionalities to work properly you have to either disable authentication explicitly or give it the username and password of a user that has access to _system, so it would be:

conn = Connection(username=xxx, password=xxx)

I am currently working on user management and when I am done you should be able to also manage user rights to different databases.

Unfortunately the server that is hosting the doc is experiencing some problems and I am unable to update it for the moment, but most of the doc is embedded in the code. If you want, you can also generate the full doc by installing sphynx along with the read the docs plugin and then typing make clean;make html inside the doc folder.

Cheers,

No problem, thanks!
