Could not decode message - error unpackb() got an unexpected keyword argument 'encoding'

[incognitozen]

So I am working with the general spider in the example dir.

I am using the disributed mode as described in the docs here.

Everything seems to start and work ok.

However the spider on encountering the URL triggers the following error.

error unpackb() got an unexpected keyword argument 'encoding'

As you can see there is some encoding/decoding issue ?

I have tried to

• reinstall msgpack
• re add seeds

Working with Ubuntu 18

@incognitozen Have you tried installing older version of msgpack (e.g. 0.6.2)?
