Python support for SSL and HTTPS is not installed November 11, 2009
Posted by idimmu in mac os x, python.I wanted to give Google's new Go language a try which requires checking out the source code with Mercurial.
Mercurial was installed from ports on my Mac with
sudo port install mecurial
But checking out the code threw an error.
Chill:~ rus$ hg clone -r release https://go.googlecode.com/hg/ $GOROOT
abort: Python support for SSL and HTTPS is not installed
Exception exceptions.AttributeError: "'httpsrepository' object has no attribute 'urlopener'" in <bound method httpsrepository.__del__ of <mercurial.httprepo.httpsrepository object at 0x3bb910>> ignored
After some hunting I found the answer is to install the python socket ssl library from ports
Chill:~ rus$ sudo port install py25-socket-ssl

---> Installing py25-socket-ssl @2.5.4_0
---> Activating py25-socket-ssl @2.5.4_0
---> Cleaning py25-socket-ssl
Which then let me check out the source for Go!
Chill:~ rus$ hg clone -r release https://go.googlecode.com/hg/ $GOROOT
