jpeg error with PIL, Can't convert 'NoneType' object to str implicitly

[hnykda]

Hello,

when I try for example this code:

url = "http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/12/16/politifact-lie-of-the-year-ebola_n_6335360.html"
a = nws.Article(url)
a.download()
a.parse()

I get this error:

CRITICAL:newspaper.article:jpeg error with PIL, Can't convert 'NoneType' object to str implicitly

everything works (I think) fine - at least I haven't found anything weird. I can give you additional info - not sure if that is bug or it's because of my configuration.

Try to find the problem on your own for now but I'll look into it after this week (finals week for me in school).

Same here (last week also...)

Don't need to bother... Thank you

Using python 2.7.8..

Did anyone ever find a solution to this?

Closing as this is fixed!
