httpie requires requests < 1.0, raring ships with 1.1.0

[Brian Moyles]

httpie has a dependency on requests > 0.10.1 but < 1.0. Raring ships with requests 1.1.0. The httpie deb doesn't declare a dependency on any specific version of requests, so everything installs clean.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/http", line 5, in <module>
    from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 2809, in <module>

In the meantime this bug is studied, is there a workaround ?

Seb.

Hello.

Raring is no longer supported, so I am marking this as "Incomplete".

If this still applies to Ubuntu, please update the bug to indicate where this is encountered on, what releases, and what software versions you are currently using.
