How do I properly install httplib2 on Google App Engine?

Question

I copied my httplib2 directory into my GAE project, and now I'm getting the following error:

line 64, in <module> _ssl_wrap_socket = ssl.wrap_socket

Is this an issue with Google App Engine, or did I somehow install my httplib2 incorrectly?

Full error dump, as request(it's big!):

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'wrap_socket'

Still having this issue. About the only thing I can think of that could possibly be causing this is my machine running Python 2.7; Is it possible that is causing the issue?

Answer 1

As a workaround:

Can you use Google App Engine SDK 1.4.3 (this looks like a 1.5.0 regression).

Or force httplib2 fallback on httplib.FakeSocket with:

import sys
sys.modules['ssl'] = None
import httplib2

A new issue has been filled there: http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=5064

It looks already fixed in httplib2 side: http://code.google.com/p/httplib2/source/detail?r=cf721c1693a68e9438899be3d78acccae6ab0e30#
