Why am I getting an error running my custom generating command locally on a search head with streaming=True?

My custom GeneratingCommand command seems to break when trying set command to local on a search head with streaming=True.

\@Configuration(streaming=True,local=True)
class mycustomcommand(GeneratingCommand):
"""
Class used to generate stream data from remote system
"""
jql = Option(
doc='''Syntax: jql=
Description: JQL query string ''')
maxresults = Option(
doc='''Syntax: maxresults=

Command works on stand-alone instance, but fails when adding *streaming=True.

Looking for assistance.

Python SDK Version 1.3.0
Splunk 6.2

I believe this has something to do with search_command_internals.py.

I was able to over come this issue by settings local=true and streaming=true with the commands.conf.
