SystemError when connecting to Rexster with bulbs

Question

I have set up a Titan + Cassandra + Elasticsearch + Rexster server. Everything installed correctly and I am able to play around with the "Graph of the Gods" in the Gremlin console. I started everything with the titan.sh script.

titan/bin/titan.sh status outputs:

Titan + Rexster (com.tinkerpop.rexster.Application) is running with pid 4443
Cassandra (org.apache.cassandra.service.CassandraDaemon) is running with pid 3909
Elasticsearch (org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Elasticsearch) is running with pid 4280

If I go to http://localhost:8182/doghouse I am able to see an empty graph called "graph".

Now I am trying to connect to Rexster from Python (3.4) using the bulbs package (http://bulbflow.com/). The code I am trying with is very simple:

from bulbs.rexster import Graph, Config
kg = Graph(Config('http://localhost:8182/graphs/graph'))

I get the following exception:

I should add the graph called "graph" is the default graph I find in Rexster and has not been added by me.

So, I have some questions:

How do you connect to Rexster with bulbs (I am certainly doing something wrong)?
How do you create a new graph?

1) Try bulbs.titan.Graph instead of bulbs.rexster.Graph - titan and rexster are similar, but bulbs is special casing titan behavior.

2) Titan graphs are configured in the XML config file. Look for

<graphs>
    <graph>

    </graph>
</graphs>

Configuration in rexster-cassandra.xml or rexster-cassandra-es.xml or whatever config file you're using.
