code:

image("http://networkcultures.org/entreprecariat/wp-content/uploads/sites/41/2018/01/teargun.jpg", (100,100))

output:

also tried getting json from some open apis using urllib and got some SSL certificate errors

@chuckloyola That's odd, works here without a problem. What version of DrawBot are you using?

chuckloyola

DrawBotPy3 3.113

justvanrossum

@chuckloyola We're at 3.114 now, but I don't think it will make a difference. You mention Python 3. I somehow bet the same problem occurs with the Python 2 version of DrawBot.

chuckloyola

@justvanrossum just tried the Python 2 (3.114) version with a different url and same problem.

code:

image('https://lumiere-a.akamaihd.net/v1/images/aliceinwonderland_-yes_celebrate_bc506b50.gif', (100,100))

output:

gifsicle: /v1/images/aliceinwonderland_-yes_celebrate_bc506b50.gif: No such file or directory

@chuckloyola This is actually a very different error, and I can reproduce it. (Something with placing an animated gif.)

What error do you get with the jpg link? The same as in your original report?

chuckloyola

@justvanrossum actually, on 3.114 Python 2 code runs fine with the jpeg, I assumed it also had to do with not finding the image. apologies for the confusion.

justvanrossum

@chuckloyola And, just to make sure, you are still getting the same error on the Py3 version of DrawBot 3.114?

Regarding the gif error: I opened an issue about that: https://github.com/typemytype/drawbot/issues/189

chuckloyola

@justvanrossum hmm ... the latest DrawbotPy3 version on the website is 3.113. just downloaded it again, to make sure (screenshot) though it does tell me i'm on 3.114 when i check for updates from within the app.

justvanrossum

@chuckloyola said in can't fetch image from url (python3 version):

hmm ... the latest DrawbotPy3 version on the website is 3.113

Oh I see, that's weird. I'll look into it.

chuckloyola

@justvanrossum ok so, no idea what has changed, but after i re-downloaded and reinstalled the same Py3 app. code runs fine now. screencap

justvanrossum

@chuckloyola Ok, good to know. Maybe it was a network glitch.
