ImportError: No module named _ssl on App Engine since 1.5.0 #191
Description
After updating to 1.5.0, my App running on App Engine stopped working:
File "<...>/base_api_client.py", line 4, in <module>
from googleapiclient.discovery import build
File "<...>/lib/googleapiclient/discovery.py", line 63, in <module>
from googleapiclient.http import BatchHttpRequest
File "<...>/lib/googleapiclient/http.py", line 39, in <module>
import ssl
File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/ssl.py", line 97, in <module>
import _ssl # if we can't import it, let the error propagate
File "/Applications/GoogleAppEngineLauncher.app/Contents/Resources/GoogleAppEngine-default.bundle/Contents/Resources/google_appengine/google/appengine/tools/devappserver2/python/sandbox.py", line 948, in load_module
raise ImportError('No module named %s' % fullname)
ImportError: No module named _ssl
The error goes away if I add the ssl module to my app.yaml:
- name: ssl
version: latest
However, googleapiclient worked fine previously without using/importing the ssl module, so I am not sure this is intended.
Thanks,
