Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

httplib2shim

✓ import httplib2shim

Http

✓ from httplib2shim import Http

Basic usage: instantiate Http and make a request.

import httplib2shim # Replace httplib2's Http with shim http = httplib2shim.Http() response, content = http.request('https://www.google.com', 'GET') print(response.status)

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe shim does not fully implement all httplib2 features (e.g., caching, proxy authentication).

fix

Test your specific httplib2 usage; fall back to httplib2 if needed.

affects: all

deprecatedThis library is no longer actively maintained. Last release was 2021.

fix

Consider migrating to urllib3 directly or using httplib2 with its own patches.

Errors

Common errors & fixes

AttributeError: module 'httplib2shim' has no attribute 'Http'

Incorrect import: tried to access Http as attribute of module after `import httplib2shim`.

fix

Use `from httplib2shim import Http` or `httplib2shim.Http()` directly – but import works.

TypeError: request() got an unexpected keyword argument '**kwargs'

The shim's request method does not accept some httplib2-specific parameters.

fix

Only pass positional args (uri, method) and body; avoid httplib2 extras like headers as keyword args.
