#106688 — Python 3.4 problem with requests module

Hi all,

I would appreciate any thoughts that you may have regarding a troublesome build error. I am at my wits end.

For some strange reason a get a single error on importing. It's to do with the requests module and pyopenssl.py

The comment block indicates:
This needs the following packages installed:

* pyOpenSSL (tested with 0.13)
* ndg-httpsclient (tested with 0.3.2)
* pyasn1 (tested with 0.1.6)

I have done this.

The requests module then imports:
from __future__ import absolute_import

try:
    from ndg.httpsclient.ssl_peer_verification import SUBJ_ALT_NAME_SUPPORT
    from ndg.httpsclient.subj_alt_name import SubjectAltName as BaseSubjectAltName
except SyntaxError as e:
    raise ImportError(e)

import OpenSSL.SSL
from pyasn1.codec.der import decoder as der_decoder
from pyasn1.type import univ, constraint
from socket import _fileobject, timeout, error as SocketError

But I get a python exception on this last line:

ImportError was unhandled by user code
Message: cannot import name '_fileobject'


I am running Python 3.4 and had no problems previously. 

I am not sure if its to do with the csv fetcher functionality and have tried everything.

Thanks

This looks like a shadowed import problem. Try running this:

import socket
print(socket.__file__)

If all's well, you should get a file path that points to your Python
installation (for me, "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/socket.py"). If it
tells you something about your current directory, check for a file
called socket.py or socket.pyc and rename or delete it - you've
shadowed the standard library module.

If you run this:


import socket
print(socket.__file__)


what does it say?

Please respond to the list, so everyone can see things.

Did you run that from the exact same place that your imports were failing?

Try, immediately after the print call above, "import requests". Does
it still fail?
