<Fault 500: 'Empty Term'> - taxonomies

[rosscdh]

Hi there, thanks for the lib!

Problem when using the example: http://python-wordpress-xmlrpc.readthedocs.org/en/latest/examples/taxonomies.html#terms : Or to create a child category:

for tl_cat in top_level_categories:
    if tl_cat not in category_names:

        child_cat = WordPressTerm()
        child_cat.taxonomy = 'category'
        child_cat.parent = 0
        child_cat.name = tl_cat
        child_cat.slug = slugify(tl_cat.lower())
        child_cat.id = wp.call(NewTerm(child_cat))

results in

xmlrpclib.Fault: <Fault 500: 'Empty Term'>

any feedback would be appreciated!

Thanks

Please check the value of child_cat.name = tl_cat. maybe it's worth empty.

Thanks, but its ok I've wrapped the database in a REST api which works quite well: https://github.com/rosscdh/wordpress_rest

yesterday I had a similar case. but in my case that occurred as a result value is empty.

so I think it could help you, but it did not.

I fixed it. The problem occurs (for me), when a tab/category is empty. So when you exclude empty valued, the problem disappears. For me it was somehing like

[i for i in tag_generator() if i]

Through the if i, empty values are excluded and it works now!
