Error while contacting GitHub - after plugin update about gist HOT 6 CLOSED

I'm experiencing the same issue.

OS: Ubuntu 12.04 running Unity
Sublime Text 2.0.1 Build 2217
Plugin Version: pulled from Github (although package management version receives same error).

Hi Anton Vérinov,

I pulled in gist.py of Feb 1 commit (https://raw.github.com/condemil/Gist/e6df4f0e00a6d023a8009ea02216f7dc0c6754dc/gist.py) and things were back to normal in Sublime Text 2.

Possibly the recent changes to gist.py on Feb 3 (https://github.com/condemil/Gist/blob/28389a318f5c420e4622a5fcccf6f893497aa2a0/gist.py), that introduced updates in the usage of urllib2 in gist.py may need some attention.

Thanks,
-Santhosh.

Must be fixed now

Thanks Dmitry it works again. It would be great to move user&pass/token to some "user" file so you don't have to reenter credentials every time there is an update.

You need to enter it in User Settings (Preferences -> Package Settings -> Gist -> Settings - User), not in Settings - Default.

It doesn't work for me in Sublime Text 3 (build 3061), on Linux Mint 15:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Some research shows that this is a bug with Sublime Text on Linux:

Sorry for dumping so many links to you, just wanted to show you that this is a known issue.

As it is, I'm unable to use this package on my home computer. But the weird thing is - I'm pretty sure it works on my work computer (unless I'm remembering incorrectly), which is also running Linux Mint 15.

I can't access my work computer now, but I'll be at the office tomorrow - is there any specific debug info I could give you to help solve this problem?

And if it's actually ST3's fault (as the links suggest), would you be interested in coding a workaround to use curl or something else that's available?

Thanks!
