comparing Python versions might be useful. (i am using 2.7.6 for this test)

thanks; i'm past 90 pages now, and wondering if this is a particular
edge case with some specific versions of Python, urllib, requests -
the whole crew are a motley bunch!


last question: API only credentials, like a "Device Login" or API
token, which don't use primary username and password:
  are these on the roadmap?

i don't mind this method much, since i generate unique user and
passwords anyway, but it is good practice to have separate credentials
for the bots and scripts :)


thanks again!
