TypeError: can't compare datetime.datetime to float

[danlipsitt@…]

How to Reproduce

While doing a GET operation on /browser, Trac issued an internal error.

I am using the bzr plugin, but I don't see evidence that it's implicated. I also get a similar error in the timeline view, but it doesn't give a traceback:

Repository checkins event provider (ChangesetModule) failed:
TypeError: can't compare datetime.datetime to float

Request parameters:

{'path': '/'}

[Emmanuel Blot]

It is likely that the bzr plugin relies on the old Trac interface that used to use float to represent time values.

Trac development version (and upcoming 0.11 release) has been using datetime objects for a while and cannot execute plugins based on old APIs.

Please report this issue to the ​wiki:BzrPlugin maintainer.
