urllib2.URLError: <urlopen error unknown url type: https>

urllib2 needs hashlib with md5 (most likely to verify certs) and IDA's python on Linux doesn't seem to provide it.

Anyway IDA's python is very crippled so documentation about using a virtualenv for IDA would be good. I'll see if I can contribute docs to get ananconda's 32-bit python built in a virtualenv for IDA today.

[Olivier Bilodeau]

Ok, so I think this is easier to fix than originally thought. With anaconda's python I also have hashlib errors which means that I'm probably only lacking a 32bit lib.

[Marc-Etienne M.Léveillé]

I think hashlib is using a binary module (_hashlib.so) that links to OpenSSL.

32-bit IDA with a 64-bit system or Python is a mess :(

Once we find a solution I'll fix the error message in the installer to refer to the package to install.

[Andrew Righter]

So to fix this, you basically need a couple things:

• 32-bit Python runtime /opt/python32-2.7.12 is mine
• mv /opt/ida-6.95/python/lib/python2.7 /opt/ida-6.95/python/lib/python2.7_backup
• Symlink your /opt/python32-2.7.12 to your /opt/ida-6.95/python/lib
• Copy missing *.so from /opt/ida-6.95/python/lib/python2.7_backup/lib-dynload/ to /opt/python32-2.7.12/lib-dynload/

Running locate hashlib.so will help you find where the missing file is. (Assuming you've installed it, which it sounds like reading above you have.)

[Marc-Etienne M.Léveillé]

Now the IDA Pro is a 64-bits executable there should be less compatibility problems with dual Python installs. Since this is mostly a setup problem I'll close it for now, but let me know if you have further problems.
