Okay, confirmed, and tracked down to a
bad interaction between Python 2, and the current unreleased requests/urllib3 versions I'm using.
Next snapshots will be fixed, but they won't come until I'm done with other things, so, in the meantime:
In
/mnt/us/python/lib/python2.7/site-packages/requests/models.py around L392 (basically just above the offending
unicode_is_ascii call), insert:
Code:
if is_py2:
host = unicode(host)
Honoring the whitespace *exactly* (this is Python, indent > everything, as it should!).
