Unknown URL Type: https Facebook Python SDK 

Depending on your configuration you may experience this problem with the Facebook Python SDK not being able to request anything from the Graph API because urllib may not always support SSL:

IOError: [Errno url error] unknown url type: 'https'

This can be easily fixed with a small modification in the facebook.py file.  Add an import for urllib2 and then change urllib.urlopen to urllib2.urlopen on line 171 in the request function.
