CANNOT IMPORT HTTP.CLIENT
 

Hi,

today, when emerging dev-libs/openssl-0.9.8o-r2, which is needed for
nxssh, I've got the message
!!! CANNOT IMPORT HTTP.CLIENT: cannot import name HTTPSConnection

Does anybody have an idea what that means?

Thanks for a hint,
Helmut.

It seems something is broken in Python and or bzr, e.g.
in an overlay build for cuneiform I get


>>> Unpacking source...
* bzr update start -->
* repository: lp:cuneiform-linux
bzr: ERROR: exceptions.AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute
'HTTPSConnection'

Re-emering dev-vcs/bzr didn't help.

Thanks for any hint,
Helmut.

The class HTTPSConnection is defined in httplib.py, which is part of python
itself. I wonder if your python is installed with the ssl useflag set?

Are you using python2 and python3 on the same machine, maybe?

Thanks, it turned out to be an openssl problem introduced by the recent
dev-libs/openss-1.0.0a-r2 which disables ssl support in Python itself.
