POPython httplib2 AttributeError: 'builtin_function_or_method' object has no attribute 'new'
text
Body
copied!<p>I am trying to scrape text from wikipedia. Since httplib2 is already installed, I thought I would use it.</p> <p>When I go through the simple retrieval from their <a href="http://code.google.com/p/httplib2/wiki/Examples" rel="nofollow">basic examples</a>, the first example gives me this error.</p> <pre><code>> import httplib2 > h = httplib2.Http(".cache") > url = "http://code.google.com/p/httplib2/" > h.request(url, "GET") Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/Library/Frameworks/EPD64.framework/Versions/7.2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/httplib2/__init__.py", line 978, in request cached_value = self.cache.get(cachekey) File "/Library/Frameworks/EPD64.framework/Versions/7.2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/httplib2/__init__.py", line 625, in get cacheFullPath = os.path.join(self.cache, self.safe(key)) File "/Library/Frameworks/EPD64.framework/Versions/7.2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/httplib2/__init__.py", line 189, in safename filemd5 = md5.new(filename).hexdigest() AttributeError: 'builtin_function_or_method' object has no attribute 'new' </code></pre> <p>I'm running on Mac OS X, Python Version: 7.2-2 (64-bit), Enthought Distribution.</p> <p>I'm thinking it might be an issue with a faulty installation, but then again httplib2 came installed with other packages that I've been using. Also, I could try to reinstall httplib2, but I'm hesitant to do that, thinking it might break other things that are currently working.</p>
