Comment 10 for bug 675186

Hey, this is Python! I can edit files in /usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/ to debug the issue, no building needed.

I was wrong: on_screenshot_thumbnail_clicked() doesn't appear to be used at all. I'm getting an IOError from urllib at view/widgets/imagedialog.py line 152:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/view/widgets/imagedialog.py", line 147, in _fetch
    self._progress)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/urllib.py", line 93, in urlretrieve
    return _urlopener.retrieve(url, filename, reporthook, data)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/urllib.py", line 239, in retrieve
    fp = self.open(url, data)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/urllib.py", line 207, in open
    return getattr(self, name)(url)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/urllib.py", line 346, in open_http
    h.endheaders()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/httplib.py", line 908, in endheaders
    self._send_output()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/httplib.py", line 780, in _send_output
    self.send(msg)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/httplib.py", line 739, in send
    self.connect()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/httplib.py", line 720, in connect
    self.timeout)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/socket.py", line 547, in create_connection
    for res in getaddrinfo(host, port, 0, SOCK_STREAM):
IOError: [Errno socket error] [Errno -2] Name or service not known

The url is http://screenshots.ubuntu.com/screenshot-with-version/liferea/1.6.3-1ubuntu4 and can be opened successfully in a web browser. I'm confused as to why this happens, since

    $ python
    >>> import urllib
    >>> location = tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile()
    >>> urllib.urlretrieve(url, location.name)
    ('/tmp/tmphXaKEv', <httplib.HTTPMessage instance at 0x9f3078c>)

works fine.
