Just read about obnam on lwn and decided to try it!
Installed the version on the ubuntu ppa.
Unfortunately, I cannot execute the basic backup example:
obnam backup --repository Backup/Obnam-backup Documents/BibFiles

The Python stack trace is awful for the user, but it's there as a development aid. If a user sees it, something is badly wrong in Obnam.
Are you sure you have the right version of Obnam? How do you check that? Obnam is supposed to report the right version number in the log file or with "obnam --version", and if it isn't 1.0 then something's wrong.
Do you have the right version of the Larch Python library installed? That stack trace looks like there's an old version installed. Are you running on Debian? Ubuntu? Somewhere else? The Ubuntu PPA is in the process of being updated to fix a few problems with wrong versions. If you're on either Ubuntu or Debian, what is the output of "dpkg -l obnam python-larch"?

Currently Chris's ppa (the one you're referring to in "download" page) seems broken. On ppa's page, it reports build fail for obnam package, in particular. Using that ppa and installing obnam, installs ubuntu precise packaged obnam:
# LANGUAGE=C apt-cache policy obnam
obnam:
Installed: 0.24.1-1
Candidate: 0.24.1-1
Version table:
*** 0.24.1-1 0
500 http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/universe amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
--negro
---
The PPA seems to be fixed now. Can you check whether it now works for you? Thanks. --liw
Haven't heard back, but assuming this is OK. [[done]] --liw
