Routing policy failover error: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'to_text'

[rasjani]

Had a quick look into this issue today and while im not really a python dev nor familar with either bogo nor dnspython packages, it looks like that boto lib returns document warning message (from r53 api) which causes dnspython to throw exception because stored data is not valid (NoneType)

I think this issue boils down to the fact that boto uses r53 api version that does not support failover feature, it receives error and dnspython then throws exception as the data passed to it from cli53 is not in shape that it can create bind export output..

And in the end, afaik failover definition in r53 is not standard bind feature, it might not be even "exportable" as it is functioning in aws dns - maybe it should just returning multiple ip addresses for a record and let the admin take care of possible rrset options ?

-- EDIT:
There's a pull request here against boto: boto/boto#1496 will make boto to return proper rrset but that does not fix the issue as the input data from R53 is not recognized by other libs and cli53 itself ..

Example of of recordset retrieved from R53:

< Record:testtest.baz.:A:555.555.555.555 (Failover id=Primary, Failover Type=PRIMARY, Health Check id=$LONG_UUID_HERE) >,< Record:testtest.baz.:A:666.666.666.666 (Failover id=Secondary, Failover Type=SECONDARY, Health Check id=None) >

Fast hack to make things work would propably be to just remove the "(.*)" from the end of Record ?

Any progress on this issue, just installed cli53 under OS X (using pip so received v0.3.6) and my first domain I try and export from Route53 comes up with this error.

cli53 export subdomain.parentdomain.com
