👍 Same here

[NickWinston123]

@iheanyi any idea why this keeps occurring?

[iraritchiemeek]

Same issue

[mystic74]

tl;dr
The following line might fix the problem
sudo pip install ply==3.4

Longer explanation:

This seems to be an issue with the ply, and the way that slimit uses it,

the issue regarding the matter can be viewed here :
rspivak/slimit#76

the simple fix is to downgrade ply, and for me it will do for now.
The better way will be for either one of the
two packages to solve the issue..

@mystic74 Oh thanks a lot this fixed it! I have been using youtube-dl but I still do enjoy bandcamp-dl a lot more. Appreciate the help can't believe how long it took me to see your post damn notifications!

@mystic74 this works, thanks!

After downgrading to ply 3.4, I have this error:

~/Documents/repos/bandcamp-dl/bandcamp-dl/bandcamp-dl.py http://blackesteverblack.bandcamp.com/album/hide-before-dinner
unknown url type: //popplers5.bandcamp.com/download/track?enc=mp3-128&fsig=15e67e013dcc256151e75e0f8f99d993&id=368538134&stream=1&ts=1444652831.0
Downloading failed..

Ideas?

@cibulka I am having the same error, I believe this is a separate issue, let's discuss it on its own page (#32)

Closed in favor of #32
