Description Frank Tobin 2002-09-11 18:13:29 UTC

PyXML 0.7.1 breaks compatibility with expat 1.95.4.  It passes an invalid
keyword (intern) to expat.ParserCreate().

Reproduction:

$ python
Python 2.2.1 (#1, Jul  3 2002, 20:44:33) 
[GCC 2.95.3 20010315 (release)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import xml.parsers.expat
>>> xml.parsers.expat.version_info
(1, 95, 4)
>>> import xml.sax.expatreader  
>>> a = xml.sax.expatreader.ExpatParser()
>>> a.reset()

If using 0.7.1, a.reset() will throw:
TypeError: 'intern' is an invalid keyword argument for this function

PyXML 0.7.0 and 0.8.0 are okay, and do not throw said exceptions.

There is a new ebuild for 0.8.1 in portage. Please test and report back.

Comment 3 Frank Tobin 2002-12-05 16:48:38 UTC

It seems like 0.8.1 resolved this issue.
