New error: Temporary failure in name resolution

[MrPaz]

I tried using this again after using it successfully a few months ago, but this time I'm getting the following error repeatedly after trying at different times throughout about 24 hours (so doesn't seem temporary).

Querying blockchain.info API about data for transaction <my transaction id>
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "claimer.py", line 1489, in <module>
    txindex, bciscript, satoshis = get_tx_details_from_blockchaininfo(args.txid, args.srcaddr, coin.hardforkheight)
  File "claimer.py", line 316, in get_tx_details_from_blockchaininfo
    res = urllib2.urlopen("https://blockchain.info/rawtx/%s" % txid)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 154, in urlopen
    return opener.open(url, data, timeout)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 429, in open
    response = self._open(req, data)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 447, in _open
    '_open', req)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 407, in _call_chain
    result = func(*args)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 1248, in https_open

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 1205, in do_open
    raise URLError(err)
urllib2.URLError: <urlopen error [Errno -3] Temporary failure in name resolution>

Any help is appreciated. Thank you

Seems like an issue with trying to reach blockchain.info - as far as I can see, the endpoint used by the script works fine here, so it must be some problem with the DNS on your machine.

Ughh, my VPN was apparently getting blocked by blockchain.info. I turned it off and it worked no problem. Sorry for the stupid error, but thanks so much for your help!
