Re: [HTCondor-users] htcondor2 Submit.itemdata error?

[Tim Theisen <tim@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello David,

The htcondor2 Python bindings in 24.x and 25.0 are supposed to be 
identical (but they diverged a little). They'll be back in sync with the 
next release. We have already fixed the defect the you just reported. 
Take a look at our work-in-progress documentation: 
https://htcondor.readthedocs.io/en/main/version-history/feature-versions-24-x.html#version-24-12-14

If it would be helpful for you, I can put a beta version of either 
24.12.14 or 25.0.3 in PyPI for you give it a try. The general release is 
currently scheduled for November 13 (provided the testing goes well).
