OK just figured it out...checking my root environment I had http_proxy set. I unset this and it's working now. It looks like I did this some time to test using a proxy to get to outside repos. Sorry for the confusion, but the error wasn't helping me much. Just for reference I'd set http_proxy like this: export http_proxy=http://myuserid:mypassword@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:80 Also here is the run with your httplib.py (syntax problems?) [root@ul055 root]# export PYTHONPATH=. SyntaxError: invalid syntax [root@ul055 root]# python /usr/share/yum/urlgrabber.pyc http://midrange.principal.com/pub/updates/7.3/en/os/headers/header.info header.info Traceback (innermost last): File "urlgrabber.py", line 14, in ? File "./httplib.py", line 252 opts, args = getopt.header in headers.headers: print string.strip(header) ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax Matt > >Same error indeed, but I don't see the output of the print statement I >inserted into the attached httplib.py. Just to be sure, do >export PYTHONPATH=. >first. > -Michael
