After upgrading to 1.1.1, mopidy stop working. I run into this error:
running mopidy 1.1.1, install from brew. Mac OS X 10.11.2, running Python 2.7.11. Any suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks

The Backend.ping() method is new in Mopidy 1.1.0. As StreamBackend subclasses Backend it should be present when you run Mopidy 1.1.1. I belive you might be experiencing https://github.com/mopidy/homebrew-mopidy/issues/3 and have *.pyc files from the previous version still in use. Can you try the workaround described in that issue?

Hi jodal thanks for the suggestion. I just installed mopidy 2.0.0 with Homebrew on my OS X El Capitan and I see the same error as dak when i run mopidy from the command line. I deleted all the *.pyc files and retried again with no success.

Do you have another idea or should I write to the developers on github?

Thanks a lot.
