I get this, too. I've just installed Ubuntu 14.10 (64 bit). Did you solve this meanwhile?

[faiwer]

MartinThoma, not :( LinuxMint user... python 2.7.3-0ubuntu7.1, python3 3.2.3-5ubuntu1.2

I have the same problem on Linux Mint 17

Me too >.<

I think you just need to replace urllib to urllib2.

[jeremiahmarks]

fbm-static - I would totally be down to make that change, but I am totally not for sure what you are suggesting I could replace. So that I can try and make the plugin work on my machine, can you elaborate a little more? I did
grep "urllib" ./* in ~/.config/sublime-text-2/Packages/Gist and the only file that uses urllib in anyformat is requests.py .

@jeremiahmarks I meant these lines

Got to work today and installed this on a work computer and it just worked. When I attempted to install it at home again, the same issue brought be back to this thread, so I decided to finally figure out what was up with this.

This is actually an issue with the embedded python that sublime text comes with on linux. There seem to be a couple of workarounds, either this solution which involves compiling a compatible python executable and replacing the one that comes bundled with sublime-text, or this git. It seems like you would be able to do something with the files, however I have no idea how you would utilize them. (where to put them, how to execute them with relation to sublime-text, etc.)

Fixed since sublime text version 3110

[jeremiahmarks]

YAY! I remember how frustrating this was.

While I am here - thanks for the useful plugin, @condemil
