When trying to get() an item from wikidata I get the following SSL related error: ERROR: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pywikibot-2.0b1-py2.7.egg/pywikibot/data/api.py", line 452, in submit headers=headers, body=body) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pywikibot-2.0b1-py2.7.egg/pywikibot/tools.py", line 367, in wrapper return method(*__args, **__kw) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pywikibot-2.0b1-py2.7.egg/pywikibot/comms/http.py", line 258, in request raise request.data SSLError: [Errno 185090050] _ssl.c:344: error:0B084002:x509 certificate routines:X509_load_cert_crl_file:system lib To reproduce: import pywikibot repo = pywikibot.Site().data_repository() item = pywikibot.ItemPage(repo, 'Q4115189') item.get()
Work for me with: >>> pywikibot.version.getversion() u'[ssh] pywikibot-core.git (a5744db, g4204, 2014/10/04, 18:56:45, OUTDATED)'
Does this happen also when calling pywikibot.version.getversion()?
Apparently this is what you get if your certificates file is missing. What version of httplib2 do you have installed, and was it installed by a package manager or with pip? In the latter case, please pip install --upgrade httplib2; in the former case, a bug report for your distribution might be in order.
@Fabian: SSL issue doesn't happen when I call pywikibot.version.getversion() @Merlijn: Running "pip install --upgrade httplib2" didn't help (and on searching I find cacert.pem in the requests directory). Completely reinstalled pywikibot (to try and remove any issues related to the egg installer but still the same issue. u'[ssh] pywikibot-core.git (df93880, g4208, 2014/10/05, 23:53:47, n/a)' Reading a bit at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-pip/+bug/1306991 it seems as though requests is broken for Ubuntu 14.04.
@Merlijn: running httplib2 version 0.9
Note that we use *httplib2*, not requests! Please try the following $ python Python 2.7.6 (default, Mar 22 2014, 22:59:56) [GCC 4.8.2] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import httplib2 >>> httplib2.CA_CERTS This gives me '/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt' for my Ubuntu 14.04-packaged httplib2, and '/path/to/venv/lib/python2.6/site-packages/httplib2-0.8_pywikibot1-py2.6.egg/httplib2/cacerts.txt' for a virtualenv. What do you get, and does that file exist?
Sorry about that. Me getting confused between httplib and requests. httplib2.CA_CERTS gives me /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/httplib2-0.9-py2.7.egg/httplib2/cacerts.txt --- I finally got things to work by deleting the httplib2 directory in the externals folder of pywikibot.
Is the httplib2 in core/externals necessary?
Yes. It's used by people using pywikibot-as-a-portable-package via pwb.py. I'm not sure why your system decided to a) use that directory (instead of using the system-installed one) or b) why it couldn't find it's cacerts file (which is included in the externals/httplib2 directory).
