New submission from David <deivid.rodrig...@riseup.net>:
Hello! Newbie to python here. I run into an issue with one desktop library, Cinnamon. Specifically this one: https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/5926#issuecomment-411232144. This library uses the urllib in the standard library to download some json. But for some reason, it does not work for me. If however, I use [https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3](urllib3), it just works. It sounds like something the standard library could do better, so I'm reporting it here in case it's helpful. A minimal example would be: ```python from urllib.request import urlopen data = urlopen("https://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/json/applets.json";).read() print(data) ``` which just hangs for me. If I pass a specific number of bytes (less than ~65000), it works, but only downloads parts of the file. Using the equivalent code in urllib3 works just fine: ```python import urllib3 http = urllib3.PoolManager() response = http.request('GET', 'https://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/json/applets.json') print(response.data) ``` This is on ``` Python 3.7.0 (default, Aug 7 2018, 23:24:26) [GCC 5.5.0 20171010] on linux ``` Any help troubleshooting this would be appreciated! ---------- messages: 323275 nosy: deivid priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: situation where urllib3 works, but urllib does not work _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34357> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
