Couldn't write lextab module <module 'slimit.lextab' from '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/slimit/lextab.pyc'> about bandcamp-dl

[scuml]

To summarize, run:

pip uninstall ply
pip install ply==3.4

According to dabeaz/ply#63 supposedly this is fixed on ply 3.7.
I have, however, installed ply 3.8 via pip and the issue persists.

Yeah, I don't know what the deal is. I've done practically everything from un/reinstalling python as with the packages to use for this program. Used 2.7 and 3.X but still nothing. Tried uninstalling, deleting, and reinstalling things with ply. So far no dice, I'm still getting this same warning.

Same problem persist in my case too. As ruda-almeida stated, i tried reinstalling ply3.8 and replacing files, also tried the whole instalation proces from clean slate but problem persists. With me the problem is with these files: yacctab.pyc and lextab.pyc.
Tried and searched for solution but still didn't find one.

Edit:
I tried installing Ply3.4 and the warning is gone but now the problem remains:

uknown url type: //popplers5.bandcamp.com/download/track?enc=mp3-128&fsig=0bf275fcbe374c0d12eb8ff9af6ed62&id=2945142706&stream=1&ts=1445767726.0
Downloading failed...

Found a solution:

1. You need Ply 3.4 installed instead of Ply 3.8.
2. In BandcampDownloader.py find line number 68 and repleace it with:
   tmp_file = wgetter.download(('http:')+(track['url']), outdir=dirname)
   Thanks to: JackRonan in #32
   Everything should now work perfectly.

Can confirm that the solution works. Thank you John and Jack, you're a lifesaver [and a time saver!]
