xmlrpc bug in python 2.7.1

[janrito]

There is a bug in the with xmlrpclib.py in python 2.7.1:

File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yolk/pypi.py", line 65, in request
  return(self.parse_response(fhandle)) 
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/xmlrpclib.py", line 1449, in parse_response 
  if response.getheader("Content-Encoding", "") == "gzip":  
AttributeError: addinfourl instance has no attribute 'getheader' 

Here is somebody else's patch:

Thank you, Alejandro.

Can you tell me how to reproduce this with python 2.7, please? I've tried it on a couple systems and I don't get that traceback when trying to query pypi with -L, -C, -D etc.

I've created a hotfix branch with this patch (hotfix/issue3).

I get the exception when I try to run anything that requires a connection to PyPI, including -L, -C, -D, -U, etc...

The error seems to affect 2.7.1 only, which is the standard on Fedora 15. I have other installations with the latest 2.7.2 python, which run yolk fine. I don't have a 2.7 install to test with.

PyPy 1.7 is compatible with 2.7.1. It suffers from the same bug.

Thank you, I hadn't tested 2.7.1. I'm moving this weekend but may get
a release out.
I'll see if I can test pypy and add the build on http://cakebread.info/jenkins

I just encountered this bug and the patched code linked from janrito's first post worked for me.
