@hanchao thank you for reporting an issue and sorry for getting back to you so late.

Are you running the OSM API on localhost? Can you try it like this:

api = osmapi.OsmApi(api="http://localhost:3000")
print api.Capabilities()

The "http://" is important for osmapi to connect to the API.

I'm closing this for now, as I think the missing "http://" caused this issue. Please comment/re-open if you think this is not correct.
