Bitbucket OAuth returns “Could not verify OAuth request.”

Question

I'm attempting to use bitbucket's API through Python with rauth. My get_request_token call fails with the error: Key Error: 'Decoder failed to handle oauth_token with data as returned by provider. A different decoder may be needed. Provider returned: Could not verify OAuth request.'

I wrote and tested this code a year ago and it worked then (on the same server, in fact). What is wrong now?

Answer 1

My server's clock was not within five minutes of bitbucket's.

Installing ntp solved this for me (on ubuntu, sudo apt-get install ntp).
