Robin> NameError: name 'HTTPConnection' is not defined It was a brain fart on my part when creating httplib.all. HTTPConnection was not included in that list. I will check in a fix. In the 2.1 release all was defined as all = ["HTTP"] I have changed that to all = ["HTTP", "HTTPResponse", "HTTPConnection", "HTTPSConnection", "HTTPException", "NotConnected", "UnknownProtocol", "UnknownTransferEncoding", "IllegalKeywordArgument", "UnimplementedFileMode", "IncompleteRead", "ImproperConnectionState", "CannotSendRequest", "CannotSendHeader", "ResponseNotReady", "BadStatusLine", "error"]

thanks; I'm still a bit puzzled as to the exact semantics. It just looks wrong. Is all the only way to get things into the * version of import? Presumably HTTPConnection is being marked as a potential global in the compile phase.
