Bug 521132 – net-misc/httpie: Missing dependency with Python 3.x

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Christian Ruppert (idl0r) 2014-08-26 15:04:17 UTC]

Running "httpie" on a Python 3.3 system results into:
% http -h
/usr/bin/python3.3: No module named SimpleHTTPServer

That module comes along with Python 2.x but there's no such module with 3.x (at least 3.3) it seems.

[Comment 1 Christian Ruppert (idl0r) 2014-08-26 15:05:04 UTC]

"The SimpleHTTPServer module has been merged into http.server"

[Comment 2 Christian Ruppert (idl0r) 2014-08-26 15:23:28 UTC]

It doesn't even work with
PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7" emerge net-misc/httpie
The same error. 3.x is set as default but the wrapper of 2.x should actually be used here instead.

Works fine for me.

Sorry, my fault. For some reason I had a "http" alias ($USER only).
