Traceback (most recent call last):
  File \"/usr/local/bin/mitmproxy\",          


        

Answer 1

You are trying to run Python 2 code on Python 3, which will not work.

As of April 2016, mitmproxy only supports Python 2.7. We're actively working to fix that in the next months, but for now you need to use Python 2 or the binaries provided at http://mitmproxy.org.

As of August 2016, the development version of mitmproxy now supports Python 3.5+. The next release (0.18) will be the first one including support for Python 3.5+.

As of January 2017, mitmproxy only supports Python 3.5+.
