py26-mechanize is currently unusable

[yacoob@…]

Current version of mechanize is 0.1.9. This version doesn't play too good with python 2.6:

>>> from mechanize import Browser
>>> br = Browser()
>>> br.open("http://www.example.com/")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/mechanize/_mechanize.py", line 206, in open
    return self._mech_open(url, data)
  File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/mechanize/_mechanize.py", line 232, in _mech_open
    response = UserAgentBase.open(self, request, data)
  File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/mechanize/_opener.py", line 175, in open
    req = meth(req)
  File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/mechanize/_http.py", line 450, in http_request
    self.rfp.read()
  File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/mechanize/_http.py", line 395, in read
    robotparser._debug("allow all")
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '_debug'
>>>

This is known error which was fixed in next version. I've tested 0.1.11 and it works fine. Can you please bump the version in macports?

Thanks,

KT.

I can confirm this error still exists using Python 2.6.6 with mechanize 0.1.9. Any update on this? Thanks.

This was presumably fixed by r71797.
