Bug 367733 – app-dicts/opendict: Prepare to use xml.use_pyxml()

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis (RETIRED) 2011-05-17 17:06:19 UTC]

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.

Not 100% sure, but it seems in this case we could get it done by a similar patch as in javatoolkit, as it seems only PrettyPrint gets used.

patches welcome.

This debian patch should drop that dependency:
