Thanx all for a help, I have tested with:
python -c 'import urllib2; print urllib2.urlopen..... The problem was only with https protocol, http worked. The certificate was not accepted (SSL, as used by bitbake wget.py), but with TLS it worked. it turns out that something HAS changed in my system/libraries (but not Python itself), influencing python urllib2 to fail, although wget, chrome, firefox, ... worked Fortunately we have another python version installed, and with that one it works again. Thanx again for your help -- _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
