python HelloWorld: extension/element models

[p...@governmenthealth.info]

Hello Group:

I am a newb at python (v2.7/Mac OSX) and I just trying to get the simplest client to retrieve some data. I assume that I have some type of setup error:

So far I had to use easy_install to bring in “requests” and “isodate”. Then I found the offending line and the calling line in models/extension.py and models/element.py.

Now I am stuck on the source code and error below.

Thanks in advance for any pointer(s) or answers.

Regards..

There indeed seems to be an issue with Python 2.7. It works fine with Python 3, so I'd advise to go that route until we fix the imports.

Pushed the update to version 1.0.3 which makes the data models work with Python 2.7 again.
