Cannot run Kinesis apps due to "Reached end of STDIN of child process for shard" 2

[nziehn]

I am trying to run the vanilla python example sample_kclpy_app.py and get the error listed below.

This seems to be similar to the issue #5 but I haven't made any changes to the code provided in this repository.

I did change the sample.properties file line: executableName = python sample_kclpy_app.py as suggested by this stack overflow answer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30043197/how-to-verify-that-amazon-kinesis-python-client-is-working

Without the last change, I don't get the error, but also my script does not seem to be executed (I don't get any log messages from my code and as I understand the comments in #5 I should get INFO log events, right?

Sorry, I just had a typo in my properties file.
