get_request_token throws a TypeError

[Rick Spencer]

Using 0.2~bzr35-0ubuntu1

This code:
 web_root = EDGE_SERVICE_ROOT
 token_url = EDGE_SERVICE_ROOT

  credentials = Credentials("rickspencer3-client")
  web_root_uri = URI(token_url)
  web_root_uri.path = ""
  web_root_uri.host = web_root_uri.host.replace("api.", "", 1)
  token_url = str(web_root_uri.ensureSlash())
  print "Web root is " + web_root
  print "Getting token from " + token_url
  authorization_url = credentials.get_request_token(web_root=token_url)

Throws this error:

should have included ...

This is running netbook remix alpha 5, fully updated.

This looks like a bug in the python-httplib2 version in jaunty to me, and seems to be unrelated to launchpadlib.

[Markus Korn (thekorn)]

without knowing what bug 336067 is exactly about, python-httplib2 seems to be broken in python2.6
looking at the upstream patch shows changes in the set_timeout related code
