Bug 150179 – dev-python/xmpppy should DEPEND on dev-python/dnspython or be patched

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Dustin J. Mitchell 2006-10-05 10:04:45 UTC]

If dnspython is not installed, xmpppy prints "Could not load one of the supported DNS libraries (dnspython or pydns). SRV records will not be queried and you may need to set custom hostname/port for some servers to be accessible." to stderr on import.

Solutions:
 * DEPEND on dev-python/dnspython (even though xmpppy will work without it)
 * patch xmpppy to not print the above message

Thoughts?

I'll take the dependency ;-)

but it seems, that I also have to add this to portage to make it complete:
http://pydns.sourceforge.net/

*g*

stay tuned...

Does it need both?  The error message, and a look at the import/try/except code that produces it, suggests that just dnspython will do the trick.

no, it needs only one of them. But it's no problem to depend on "either or".

so, quick fix: depend only on dnspython
best fix: put pydns in portage also and depend on "dnspython || pydns".

it's no problem... ;-)
