AttributeError: module 'urllib.request' has no attribute 'HTTPSHandler'

[magalive1991]

Hello here, for a couple of months now I'm getting the error in the title when running gcexport.py, I just downloaded the most recent version of the package and still have the same error. The problem is this line of code:

OPENER = urllib.request.build_opener(urllib.request.HTTPCookieProcessor(COOKIE_JAR), urllib.request.HTTPSHandler(debuglevel=0))

I investigated and it can seem like a python 2 vs python 3 error but I checked and I use python 3.9 so it should work. Can anyone help ? Thanks a lot

Maybe your version of module urllib.request is outdated?

Which version do you have installed? On Debian/Ubuntu it is provided by package python3-urllib3

The README does currently not state any minimum required version, would be good to list it as part of the installation steps.

thanks for your answer, I am on windows and do have urllib3 installed

pip install urllib3
Requirement already satisfied: urllib3

pip show urllib3
Name: urllib3
Version: 1.26.14
(last version)

edit. it's working in anaconda prompt but not in command prompt

You don't need urllib3, this project uses the urllib from the standard library.

I would start the investigation from here: https://docs.python.org/3/library/urllib.request.html#urllib.request.build_opener

If the Python installation has SSL support (i.e., if the ssl module can be imported), HTTPSHandler will also be added.

bxsx is right, the project doesn't use urllib3 (there is no import urllib3...)

When you add a line (at around line 30 of gcexport.py)

import ssl

do you still get the same error? Or something like ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ssl' ?
