Description Aaron 2007-02-27 03:34:24 UTC 
A unicode character on line 749 of /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Xlib/protocol/display.py from package /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Xlib/protocol/display.py causes the display module from Xlib to fail on an import. This is on a commented line, but it fails anyway, and doesnt appear under python-2.4. Removing the character, an ö, causes the problem to dissapear.

What version are you referring to, Aaron? This should be fixed in  
python-xlib-0.12-r3 (bug# 149223)

This is version 0.12-r1, on amd64. 0.12-r3 looks like its masked on all architectures.
Comment 3 Rob Cakebread (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-21 17:41:26 UTC 
I've filed a 'mark stable' bug for python-xlib-0.12-r3 for all arches (bug #175473)

As python 2.5 is hard masked as of now and this only affects 2.5, I'm closing.

Thanks Aaron
