as_dict() on a row fails when connected to MySQL on Amazon RDS

[Sean Ballow]

We are connecting successfully to MySQL on RDS

And when attempting to insert a new record it appears to properly insert into the database and we receive an ID back, for instance

result = db.foo.insert(myfield='blah')

print result

>> 1

The problem occurs when performing the following after successfully inserting a record and committing it

result.as_dict()

>> TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable

result is a ROW instance and the following continues to work

print result.id

>> 1

however as_dict() fails only when connected to MySQL on RDS and not when using the MySQL local instance

Oddly enough when I use the same application connected to a locally running instance of MySQL we do not receive the exception and everything works as desired.

Any ideas what may be causing the disparity between a connection to a local MySQL instance and a MySQL RDS instance? I have compared system variables between both databases and was unable to identify a problem

Thanks for your help

I'm pretty sure that 

newly_inserted_id = db.table.insert(...)

should return an integer, not a row.

Could you show your DB code for reference?  And you should jump in appadmin to check just what has been uploaded to the DB to be sure.
