"basic auth failed" when creating a simple connection

L4L7,

 

 

I am running Python 2.7.3 as the interpreter. Is there a way to tell which version of python is running scripts? I had a simple script that was simply "import sys; print sys.version_info" and when that was run using "python version.py" it said the version was 2.7.3 as well.

 

 

The interpreter may be running a different version of urllib2, but that's another thing that I don't know how to check. I will return with the answer for that.

 

 

edit:

 

urllib2 is version 2.7 in both cases. what else could be causing this?
