TypeError with "rethinkdb import"

[mntns]

Everytime I try to import data with one of the following commands,

# Importing JSON
rethinkdb import -f users.json --table test.users
# Importing CSV
rethinkdb import -f users.csv --format csv --table test.users

it fails with this error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File /usr/bin/rethinkdb-import, line 9, in <module>
    load_entry_point('rethinkdb==1.15.0-1', 'console_scripts', 'rethinkdb-import')()

I use Python 3.4.2 and I made sure, that the RethinkDB driver is installed in the newest version (from pip).

It looks like Python 3.4 added another argument to multiprocessing.queues.SimpleQueue construction. The given line works fine in Python 3.3 and 3.2. We should add some more compatibility handling here (and probably get some simple automated tests running so we're more confident in the portability of this script).

@EddyShure - as a workaround, could you run the script directly using an earlier version of python? Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

Assigning @Tryneus since you have already investigated it.

Fix is up in review 2264.

This has been approved and merged into next in commit 921e4bc, and cherry-picked into v1.15.x in commit a42fd26. Will be in release 1.15.2. Thanks for reporting this, @EddyShure!
