py37-speedtest-cli-2.1.2

Hi,

could someone run the speedtest on the CLI and tell me if it works well because since this morning I get some weird output - just to see if its maybe something on my side.

Thank you very much,
fireodo

UPDATE: follow the thread with solution:

Speedtest 2.1.2 Broken

Speedtest 2.1.2 broke yesterday and stopped working, producing the error message:

ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''.

An updated version 2.1.3 has been posted by the author, but has not yet been picked up into the package repositories.

Since a package update doesn't work, this manual update method worked for me in the interim:

# CONFIRM VERSION

@fireodo

The stats it may report are not very reliable because the author wants it that way. I wouldn't use it.

In my case the results confirm what I get with other test methods ...

@bbrendon Sounds like a political dispute. Results work fine for my purposes.

@kevinrice Its clearly documented in their github issues.
