httplib binary data and UnicodeDecodeError in python 2.7

Question

I just discovered that starting with Python 2.7, the httplib doesn't work anymore with binary data, breaking modules that where sending binary data over HTTP, one example being PyAMF

• Python bug: http://bugs.python.org/issue11898
• PyAMF bug: http://dev.pyamf.org/ticket/823

I am looking for a solution to the current bug, preferably one that does not require me to patch Python. Still patching PyAMF seams as an acceptable solution.

Answer 1

Seems like there is a PyAmf version for python 2.7. other versions can be found here.
