from a ubuntu machine I use beatbox python package to connect to SF and get the objects descriptions but can't manage to get access to the ForecastingItems object. I checked my privileges to access the object and I have full access as admin
the script I'm using is bellow, when I changed the object ForecastingItem
with Account
it does pull all the object fields.
#!/usr/bin/python
# coding=utf8
import beatbox
import pprint
import sys
import os
import datetime
sf_service = beatbox.PythonClient()
sf_service.login('[email protected]', 'password$numbersletter')
desc_obj = sf_service.describeSObjects('ForecastingItem')
forcat_item = desc_obj[0]
forItem_fields = forcat_item.fields
for sf_field_key, sf_field_value in forItem_fields.items():
print sf_field_key
I heard that I should upgrade beatbox to something more than the version 21
to be able to access the ForecastingItem object so I tried apt-get update upgrade beatbox
, but I still get the error :
Traceback (most recent call last):

Thanks in advance!
