Yup.

Sorry, Carnë. In my excitement for having found a "real" way to pass the arguments,
I forgot that import.py internally uses the "omero.host" setting, so I just propagated
your problem down the line.

We'll need to fix this so that "omero.host" can either be reliably used or is completely
unnecessary, but for the moment you can do the parsing you were looking for with:


  router = copy.getProperty("Ice.Default.Router")
  router = copy.getCommunicator().stringToProxy(router)
  for endpoint in router.ice_getEndpoints():
      host = endpoint.getInfo().host
  print "Using", host
  copy.ic.getProperties().setProperty("omero.host", host)

before calling cli.invoke. I now get:

        * ==> Summary
        * 1 file uploaded, 1 fileset created, 1 image imported, 0 errors in 0:00:07.947
        *** end stderr ***

        *** out parameters ***
        ***  done ***


Cheers,
~Josh
