python: get google adsense earnings report

I need a python script that gets the google adsense earnings and I found adsense scraper: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/adsense_scraper/0.5 It uses Twill and html5lib to scrape google adsense earnings data. When I use it I get this error message:

urllib2.URLError: <urlopen error unknown url type: 'http>

So the important thing is:

urllib2.URLError: <urlopen error unknown url type: 'http>

Can somebody tell me where the error is? Is there even a better way to get the data via python? Thanks

---

there are several errors with the package, you mentioned only the first one

1) twill package does not handle google's redirects correctly, adding

    newurl = newurl.strip( "'" )

to twill/other_packages/_mechanize_dist/_http.py:108 before

    newurl = _rfc3986.clean_url(newurl, "latin-1")

fixes that

2) you have to have the correct language set in adsense - English

3) there are several problems in the orignal adsense_scraper
