This package specifies dependency on dev-python/pyxml. Please test this package with dev-lang/python-2.7.1-r2:2.7 or >=dev-lang/python-2.7.2_pre20110515:2.7, which require explicit calling of xml.use_pyxml() before using PyXML. If this package actually needs PyXML, then modify all modules/scripts of this package, which import xml module. The following code should be added before first import of anything from xml module: import xml if hasattr(xml, "use_pyxml"): xml.use_pyxml() This code works with previous versions of Python, so no changes in dependencies are needed.
Closing since 1.9.4 doesn't require pyxml specifically anymore and 1.8.8 will be removed from the tree when 1.9.4 is stabilized via bug #339295.
