How to get wadllib sources using HTTP?

I was able to branch wadllib using the command you gave above.

We've had problems on bazaar.launchpad.net earlier today, so that may have been the cause of the error you saw. Can you give it another try?

I tried again, but it still fail.

I also tested with the url of another project that worked about a week
ago, but it fails with a similar error.

Based on the discussion of bug 349269, it seems likely there is a proxy between you and launchpad.net that is causing this. Is that possible?

Yes, that is the reason why I'm trying to use HTTP. There is
proxy/firewall/filter and whatever "security" stuffs large company
usually deploys.

Though it is "good enough" for me to be able to use subversion
repository hosted on sourceforge.

As suggested in https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/349269/comments/5, have you tried logging in to Launchpad and running "bzr branch lp:wadllib"?

Put status as "needs information", based on my last question.

This does not work. From my understanding, only the proxy can do DNS look-up for remote host. I'm not aware of any way to work-around this.

Have you tried installing wadllib through PyPI?

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/wadllib

Using Pypi nearly works: wadlib, lazr.uri and simplejson are correctly retrieved but setup.py install fails to retrieve a version of elementree:
---
Installed c:\python26\lib\site-packages\wadllib-1.1.4-py2.6.egg

I do find it strange that it needs to retrieve elementtree as it is already present in the standard library (I'm using python 2.6). Installing elementtree 1.2.6 manually does not solve the installation issue...

That's because elementtree is the name of the external distribution. It's named etree in python stdlib. wadllib should probably try to import from both places.
