I'm using Kodi (Isengard) on Mac OS. I'm having issues running the Crackler add-on. It generates a python exception as follows:

Code:

Error Type: <type 'exceptions.KeyError'>
Error Contents: ('v_id',)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/cnguyen/Library/Application Support/Kodi/addons/plugin.video.crackler/default.py", line 202, in <module>
jsonurl = urllib2.urlopen(channel_detail_url % (args_ar['v_id'][0]))
KeyError: ('v_id',)

The problem is that Kodi ships with python 2.6. This add-on uses the urlparse module to parse out queries. In python version 2.7 and higher, the query is correctly extracted. But not in python 2.6. This leads to an empty query string resulting in an exception.

$ python

>>> import urlparse
>>> r = urlparse.urlparse('plugin://plugin.video.crackler/?indx=0&mode=view_episodes&v_id=513')
>>> print r
ParseResult(scheme='plugin', netloc='plugin.video.crackler', path='/', params='', query='indx=0&mode=view_episodes&v_id=513', fragment='')
>>> print urlparse.parse_qs(r.query)
{'v_id': ['513'], 'indx': ['0'], 'mode': ['view_episodes']}

$ /usr/bin/python2.6

>>> quit()

This post contains a workaround that involves changing the source code of the add-on. 219432 (thread)

It would be nice to have Kodi (Mac OS) ship with python 2.7.

v17 will be python 2.7
