---------------------------------

             Summary: Python client is broken when pycurl isn't installed
                 Key: AMBARI-6294
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-6294
             Project: Ambari
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: client
    Affects Versions: 1.6.0
            Reporter: Greg Hill


If you don't have pycurl installed, trying to use the client causes a lot of 
problems.  This line in http_client.py is at fault:

try:
  import pycurl
# pycurl is not necessary for testcases, mock it
except ImportError:
  from mock.mock import MagicMock
  pycurl = MagicMock() 


There are a few problems here:

1. The tests should do the mocking, it shouldn't be done automatically when 
running outside of tests.
2. mock.mock does not appear to be a valid module.  I can't install it via pip. 
 Did you mean 'from mock import MagicMock'?
3. There is no dependency set on either pycurl or mock.mock, so using pip to 
install ambari-client does not install it in a working state.
