Any Python developer here?

The script that we used to use last year for checking reservation availability is now breaking at the PushBullet send command:

Code: 
 File "iphone.py", line 166, in <module>
    tmp2.sendNote("Stock Checker", "iPhone Stock checker is up and running!\n\nYou will be notifed immediately once stock is found for your locations!")
  File "iphone.py", line 132, in sendNote
    return urllib2.urlopen(req).read()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 127, in urlopen
    return _opener.open(url, data, timeout)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 404, in open
    response = self._open(req, data)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 422, in _open
    '_open', req)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 382, in _call_chain
    result = func(*args)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 1222, in https_open
    return self.do_open(httplib.HTTPSConnection, req)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 1184, in do_open
    raise URLError(err)
urllib2.URLError: <urlopen error [Errno 8] _ssl.c:510: EOF occurred in violation of protocol>

Guys, I haven't been keeping up with the expected UK pricing of the iPhone X, are we looking at a starting price of £799 or is it likely to be more? I'm planning on buying outright but all I see everywhere is rumours of $999 and I don't know how thats going to translate into £.

I am guessing it's going to be around £899 minimum to £1099. but more likely 128gb @ £949

Going to try my best to order one for my Mum and I! Hopefully pre-orders allow to collect in-store (five min walk away).

When I ordered my 6, I chose delivery, which ended up delayed, but I managed to use that reservation link to walk in and get one on the day.

Wondering if a collect in-store pre-order is dependent on stock at that particular shop, or whether shop stock is allocated to those who queue or reserve rather than pre-order? If anyone has an idea from past experience that’d be great.

£999 for a 64gb iPhone X and Id be definitely out. Thats madness.

Saying that I thought it was coming in two versions 128gb, and 256gb. Although I think £999 for 128gb is still taking the P. We shall see. Hey the phone may not even be that impressive, its not as if we haven't seen bezel-less OLED screens before and the leaks may have revealed everything else.

According to that Tweet from Geskin it looks like there will no 128GB, so it will be 64GB, 256GB and 512GB (512 wouldn't surprise me considering that they added it to the latest iPad Pro earlier this year.) I think the iPhone X will be a very impressive device, not only is it the first time OLED will be on an iPhone but there is more to talk about, 3D facial recognition (said to be much more advanced than the competition) wireless charging, a very impressive 6 core processor and so on. Personally i think it's going to be the biggest upgrade to the iPhone and the beginning of the next generation.

This is unlikely to work now

The API That it calls has been locked down by Apple

It will definitely be the biggest change to the iPhone ever, and I think, the most entertaining and exciting keynote ever (plus its in the Steve Jobs theatre). Don't get me wrong I'm really excited, but I can already hear the comments from friends and family such as "you paid how much fort a phone??" "you've got way too much money!!!" and my personal fav "You are a sheep, I hate Apple, here look at my Google Pixel, oh wait the lock screen has frozen" :)

Can you elaborate on this?

Of course. If you search the forums for UK reserve in-store (or along those lines), there was an option to check stock in-store at 6am every morning, and if there were any you could reserve one and walk in that day. I think it was for the iUP customers, but you could just walk in and say you'd like to pay in full and they'd honour it.

EDIT: Link was similar to above post

So in the end, you went with that route and cancelled your pre order?

My Mum wanted one also, so she took my pre-order when it arrived. I didn't want to end up with two and return the one that arrived latest, as it seems a tad unfair for people genuinely waiting for their pre-order.
 
I'm thinking we will be looking at 64GB £899, 256GB £999 and 512GB £1099 but I'm half expecting these all to be £100 higher.

As usual I'll probably buy the phone outright and sell my 7 Plus.
 
I'm on the Apple Upgrade, and seriously hope that I can pre-order on pre-order day. If not, I think I'll go back on O2 contract
 
I'm trying to stay level headed. The new features are great, but ultimately what will I use the phone for? Exactly the same things that I use on the 6S+ without issue

EDIT - I've gone off topic there. Back to the OP, I've got an early upgrade fee of £307, and my phone is valued at £304 for trade in. So I would have to sell mine, pay off O2 and then either upgrade or move elsewhere. The IUP would tempting, but expensive with AppleCare included

Same here I only have four apps on my phones Netflix,Whatapp,Tuneinradio and Natwest online banking.
I do not play any games,social network like twitter or Facebook.
 
I'll stick with my long held prediction of:

£969 for the 64GB
£1069 256GB
£1169 512GB

It's the smaller form factor, than my 7 plus, but with no sacrifice in screen and battery size (?) that tempts me but not sure I'm the best part of £500 tempted in terms of the cost for me to upgrade. The other (rumoured) features ? Not so fussed to be honest.
 
But it's shiny and new lol... I could never justify paying £1000 for a phone but I can somewhat justify paying a bit extra a month to upgrade my contract early on Vodafone.

I am kinda hoping it will be £949 for the 128gb and £1049 for the 256gb and lastly £1149 for the 512gb
 
I don't think it will cost £1000.

All the rumours suggested £1000 dollars and that's about £760 so add some tax on and it's £800.

£1000 will be the price for the largest storage models.
