That line is trying to convert the ticket to a number, there is a colon on the ticket you posted, so no wonder it breaks, why there is a colon though? 🤔

[zopyx]

No idea...I doubt that is coming from out policy file...I do not even know what tkauth is supposed to do 😇

Can you post the full traceback please? It does not include an error.

I updated the original traceback

I see that @ale-rt removed six before 4.0.0b2 was released. File history and the specific commit.

Would you happen to have time to test if it happens with 4.0.0b1 ? maybe on that six removal is the problem, given that it raises a ValueError and your input seems to be bytes ?

All of this is wild guessing at 5:40 at night, so take it with a bit of🧂

[ale-rt]

The ticket is simply too short... it should be 32 chars (which is a checksum) + 8 chars (a timestamp in hex) + whatever.
No idea why you ticket is so short and in the form $16_digit_hex:$16_digit_hex

We get the same ValueError.
