New issue 214 by silvan.k...@web.de: Document.load() does not return None
for non existent documents
http://code.google.com/p/couchdb-python/issues/detail?id=214

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Try to load a Document from an empty cdb (e.g. mydoc = MyDoc.load(db,
myid)
2. Test wether or not the document was loaded (e.g. if mydoc is None:)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would expect the if expression to eval to true but it fails

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
couchdb module 0.8, MacOS 10.8

str() produces (PeakTimes is the document type, the following was loaded by
PeakTimes.load(id)):

<PeakTimes None@None {u'update_seq': 0, u'disk_size': 79, u'purge_seq': 0,
u'doc_count': 0, u'compact_running': False, u'db_name':
u'timeplanertestdb', u'doc_del_count': 0, u'instance_start_time':
u'1345619141158717', u'committed_update_seq': 0, u'data_size': 0,
u'disk_format_version': 6}>

Looks like you've got dbinfo instead of document. This information is
available if you make GET request to database resource e.g
http://localhost:5984/dbname . Could you provide some code snippet that
reproduces problem to let me say what's wrong more directly?

I will but as I'm going for a short vacation today this will happen next

Sorry for the delay & thanks for looking into this!

Hmm, classical case of murphy.
I just wrote an example which ran as expected. Rechecking with my
application this now is running well, too, loading non existent documents
produces a None value.
Probably shutdown/restart of the system & the DBMS solved this...
Should this issue pop up again i'll immediately provide an example & logs,
sorry i took your time.
Cheers
