failed to interact with the simplenote server

[acidbourbon]

Hi, I don't seem to be able to perform basic interactions with the simplenote server ... this script used to work some months ago ...

import simplenote
sn = simplenote.Simplenote("[email protected]", "mypassword")
note_list = sn.get_note_list()
print( "note list length: {0:d}".format(len(note_list[0])) )
note list length: 0
sn.add_note({'content':'a new note from python', 'tags': 'scripted'})
(URLError(SSLError(8, '_ssl.c:504: EOF occurred in violation of protocol'),), -1)

did Simplenote.com change their protocol?

The old/original api still works for me. For instance the tests here still run fine (excepting the occasional get_list_length glitch). I do wonder if they are blocking newer users from it though, but you say this used to work?

Jup. It used to work. I used simplenote.py to convert all my notes from tomboy to SimpleNote. Thanks for coming back to me, I appreciate :) Strangely "nvpy" (a graphical third party SimpleNote client) which claims to be built around simplenote.py, works fine. However, when I try to use the python module on my raspberry pi (with raspbian) it has the same bug as on my Notebook with Linux Mint, i.e. the login and the get list commands return immediately with no results. Apart from that, have a great weekend! Cheers, Micha

I wonder if this could be a python version issue? Or json module issue?

Might be a tricky one to track down. Simplenote.vim uses simplenote.py as well and there was an issue opened there where a couple of people had odd connection issues, but for most it seems to work fine.

I can confirm that I'm getting the same issue as @acidbourbon when using python 2.7.6 on Ubuntu 14.04. I installed simplenote from pip.

However, when I install simplenote in a python 3.4.3 virtualenv using pip, things work fine.

Since my vim is compiled against python2.7, I'm getting
Error: Unable to connect to server.
when I try to run :SimplenoteList

I'm also getting test failures on Python 2.7.6:

Ran 14 tests in 9.891s

I had to comment out test_simplenote_get_list_length_longer_than_note_fetch_length() because it would hang the test suite.

Bizarre. I just ran the tests again with 2.7.11 and all worked fine. I wonder if this is a SNI thing and therefore python 2.7.9 onwards is needed?

[atomicules]

Doing a bit of a review of older issues. I'm not personally going to work this one and I'm unsure what the exact issue is.

It could be TLS related, in which case see #23

Or it could no longer be relevant now we've switched to the Simperium API.
