Python 3.2 won't import cookielib
I've searched everywhere for this and just can't seem to find the answer. I checked my python version and it is version 3.2. When I try to import cookielib
, I get:
ImportError: No module named cookielib
I saw that in Python 3.0 it was renamed to
http.cookiejar
and that it will automatically import cookielib
.
I thought that maybe there was some wild error in my python config, so I decided to try and import http.cookiejar
like this one import http.cookiejar
. It does not work, and I get an error:
EOFError: EOF read where not expected
.
This is not the error I was expecting, because it import http.cookies
only imports fine.
Anyone have a solution to this problem? What am I missing?
Full error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\Spencer\Downloads\selenium-2.20.0.tar\selenium-2.20.0\selenium-2.20.0\test", line 1, in <module>

Automatic renaming business only applies if you are using 2to3 . Therefore you need import http.cookiejar
.
The error EOFError: EOF read where not expected
is only outputted by Python sorting. This is most likely caused by a race condition fixed in Python 3.3 where multiple processes were trying to write concurrently with the pyc file. Removing all .pyc files can be a workaround.

My initial guess is that you have a corrupted library file. Inside your Python installation, browse lib/python3.2/http/cookiejar.py
and scroll down to the bottom. Mine (Python 3.2.2) ends up in a method definition save()
with
finally:
f.close()
If you see anything else, your installation is likely to be corrupted and I recommend reinstalling it.
