GAE " no attribute 'HTTPSHandler' " dev_appserver.py

I am trying to use the google appengine python SKD from my ubuntu lucid. I have already compiled python2.5. But when I execute any "dev_appserver.py" command with it I get the following error:

 Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "dev_appserver.py", line 69, in <module>
    run_file(__file__, globals())
  File "dev_appserver.py", line 65, in run_file

    class FancyHTTPSHandler(urllib2.HTTPSHandler):
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'HTTPSHandler'

I have checked the urllib2 moduls of python2.6 and python2.5 but there was no difference in the models defination and HTTPSHandelr is there in python2.5 too. So I guess it is some other sort of error.

I tried to run with the default python2.6 too but then I get the following error:

It works well in windows and even under wine.

Update

Problem with python2.6 solved.

I had configured my apache server for a django deployment on the 8080 and 80 port some time earlier.

But there is still same error with python2.5 isntallation.

Solved the issue...just needed to build all dependencies of python using:

apt-get build-dep python

python compiles with no error even when all the dependencies are not installed. It just skips the modules which require them and builds python.

Solution for missing HTTPSHandler:

Before you build python 2.5 from source you need to enable ssl-socket by editing Modules/Setup.dist (more info here http://paltman.com/2007/nov/15/getting-ssl-support-in-python-251/)

The method described in this post worked perfectly for me (Ubuntu 11.10).
