SocksiPy fails when connecting throug Tor

Tried the 3 following methods to control Tor:

Each of them fails w/ same error (tried to make it as clear as possible):

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "tor.py", line 26, in <module>
  print(urllib2.urlopen("http://www.ifconfig.me/ip").read())

File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py"
line 127, in urlopen
  return _opener.open(url, data, timeout)
line 404, in open
  response = self._open(req, data)
line 422, in _open
  '_open', req)
line 382, in _call_chain
  result = func(*args)
line 1214, in http_open
  return self.do_open(httplib.HTTPConnection, req)
line 1181, in do_open
  h.request(req.get_method(), req.get_selector(), req.data, headers)

File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/httplib.py"
line 973, in request
  self._send_request(method, url, body, headers)
line 1007, in _send_request

line 829, in _send_output
  self.send(msg)
line 791, in send
  self.connect()
line 772, in connect
  self.timeout, self.source_address)

File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/socket.py"
line 562, in create_connection
  sock.connect(sa)

File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/SocksiPy_branch-1.01-py2.7.egg/socks.py"
line 392, in connect
  self.__negotiatesocks5(destpair[0],destpair[1])
line 199, in __negotiatesocks5
  self.sendall("\x05\x01\x00")
line 165, in sendall
  socket.socket.sendall(self, bytes)

... last error repeating a lot of times and then ...

File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/SocksiPy_branch-1.01-py2.7.egg/socks.py", line 163, in sendall
  if 'encode' in dir(bytes):
RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object

Does anyone understand where it comes from?

For me it actually failed with socksipy-branch installed with pip.

However, it worked ok after I downloaded socks.py directly from http://socksipy.sourceforge.net/ to my working directory.

It looks like you are using the SocksiPy library. I had the same problem and got it fixed by installing this library again directly from https://code.google.com/p/socksipy-branch/. The first time I installed it via pip.
