Hello all, I upgraded Python from 2.7.6 to 2.7.9 by building and installing from source. Now all scripts in Kodi fail. How do I get them to work with the new version of Python?

EDIT: Example of failure from the log

Code:

IOError: [Errno url error] unknown url type: 'https'

seems you built python without TLS support

[roofuskit]

IOError: [Errno url error] unknown url type: 'https'

seems you built python without TLS support

That seems odd, I run lots of other python scripts on this same computer outside of Kodi and they use TLS with no problems.

I will try to rebuild it, thanks for the pointer! I'll report back whichever way it goes.

I'm getting a similar error on Ubuntu x64 installed from apt. Python urllib2 is choking on https urls.

Shows the error from trying to sign in (first time) to Youtube app or selecting a search option, or any app that depends on youtube. It also happens on startup from the Dropbox app with congruent backtrace.

I'm noticing that these are both the developer versions of python. Is your cpp port checking if dev version is installed? https is the protocol, the string isn't being encoded to an URL properly, should use an URL object not a hacked together string. Somewhere there's an extra quote or the ilke in the cpp source code.
