Description regomodo 2009-09-18 16:28:34 UTC 
With dev-python/lxml-2.2.1 installed an "import lxml.html.soupparser" causes an exception. 

This is because the module loaded contains

"from BeautifulSoup import \
     BeautifulSoup, Tag, Comment, ProcessingInstruction, NavigableString"

Once dev-python/beautifulsoup is installed, the "import" functions fine.

There is no "soup" USE flag in the lxml ebuild.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Ensure dev-python/beautifulsoup is installed
2.Install dev-python/lxml
3.Within python run "import lxml.html.soupparser"

Actual Results:  
A python exception to the import

Expected Results:  
The module is imported

dev-python/beautifulsoup has keywords on smaller number of architectures than dev-python/lxml, so we should fix this bug probably during committing addition of dev-python/lxml-2.2.3.
Comment 2 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-10-30 21:13:15 UTC 
Fixed in dev-python/lxml-2.2.3.
