Google App Engine 1.7.6 Remote API error

Question

Prior to the 1.7.6 dev server update, I was able to use /_ah/remote_api to upload test data to my dev server having to go through the authentication process by not entering a username and password (hitting return twice). Since the update, this now continuously asks for a username and password, regardless of what I put in - often says error incorrect username or password. I am currently targeting localhost:8080,

def auth_func():
  return (raw_input('Username:'), getpass.getpass('Password:'))

remote_api_stub.ConfigureRemoteApi(None, '/_ah/remote_api', auth_func,
                                   'localhost:8080')

though there are two new servers including the API server and the admin server. Has anyone else encountered this? if so, how did you fix it?

Thanks! Jon

Apparently thanks to Tim - If you use the new dev_appserver then you need to sepecify a email like looking username and a single character as a password on the local development server in order for it to accept and move past the login stage.
