class HTTPSConnectionWithTimeout(httplib.HTTPSConnection):
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'HTTPSConnection'

I don't understand the error
Why do I get that ?

It is mentioned on httplib official docs that HTTPS support is only available if the socket module was compiled with SSL support.
