[OWSLib-users] python package missing ?

[Ernest Chiarello]

Hi list,

i have a problem with a little python script that uses the owslib.

it works fine on all ubuntu stations, but it fails on my debian server, 
and i suppose
a python package is missing, but i do not know which one.

here is what happens :

 >>> import owslib
 >>> geonetwork = 
'http://geonetwork-mshe.univ-fcomte.fr:8080/geonetwork/srv/fre/csw-publication'
 >>> from owslib.csw import CatalogueServiceWeb
 >>> csw = CatalogueServiceWeb(geonetwork, skip_caps=True, 
username='admin', password='admin')
 >>> csw.transaction(ttype='insert', typename='gmd:MD_Metadata', 
record=open('Haies_Franche_Comte_metadata.xml').read())
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/owslib/csw.py", line 432, in 
transaction
     self._invoke()
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/owslib/csw.py", line 635, in 
_invoke
     self.response = util.http_post(xml_post_url, self.request, 
self.lang, self.timeout, self.username, self.password)
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/owslib/util.py", line 372, in 
http_post
     up = urllib2.urlopen(r,timeout=timeout);
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 154, in urlopen
     return opener.open(url, data, timeout)
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 431, in open
     response = self._open(req, data)
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 449, in _open
     '_open', req)
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 409, in _call_chain
     result = func(*args)
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 1227, in http_open
     return self.do_open(httplib.HTTPConnection, req)
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 1197, in do_open
     raise URLError(err)
urllib2.URLError: <urlopen error [Errno -2] Name or service not known>
