After running into this one - previous post which recommended updating httplib i want to upgrade my httplib module.
I have no idea how. I'm using easy_install, but when trying to call easy_install httplib it didn't find matches.
Please help.

1The OP there is talking about copying a version of the `httplib.py` module from a more recent version of Python 2.7. **The better option is to upgrade Python**. – Martijn Pieters Jun 18 '14 at 15:57

i'm with python 2.7, and don't want to upgrade it. any way to do that? (getting a newer version of httplib from somewhere?) – omer bach Jun 18 '14 at 15:59

Python 2.7 has newer releases. Install 2.7.7. You could grab the latest revision [from the Python mercurial repository](http://hg.python.org/cpython/raw-file/2.7/Lib/httplib.py). – Martijn Pieters Jun 18 '14 at 16:00

Yes, just upgrade it to the last point release. – Martijn Pieters Jun 18 '14 at 16:02

httplib comes with python package. So, if you want to updade httplib, you can only upgrade python.
Have you tried to update python-requests? Maybe your problem here.

The other post was about using the latest `requests` release with an older Python 2.7 release. – Martijn Pieters Jun 18 '14 at 16:05

It this way, you can try to downgrade `requests` to release it work with. It is not so bad. – dt0xff Jun 18 '14 at 16:08

Who says older versions *don't* trigger the problem? I am just pointing out that upgrading `requests` won't work for that specific case. – Martijn Pieters Jun 18 '14 at 16:11

Why not just install httplib2. Here are the steps:
- Download httplib2 onto your computer
cdinto the directory when you unpacked httplib2- Run the command there
Alternately, you can run:
~$ python /path/to/httplib2/setup.py install
from anywhere.
