Hiya, So the latest version of distutils now tries to import from the test module. Since lxml includes a test.py in the same directory as the setup.py file, this gets pulled in and the installation then breaks. A quick fix is to simply move the test.py, but I've included a patch that both moves the file and renames references to it in the documentation.

@Mike: Could you please start assigning bugs properly?
I don't know the Gentoo guidelines well enough, but since this bug only occurs with FEATURES="test" I would not consider it a blocker for python-2.6. dev-python/lxml-2.1.1 compiled fine for me with dev-lang/python-2.6-r2 on x86.
I'm using dev-lang/python-2.6-r2 and the tests all pass without your patch. Can you attach some output of the failure, please?
Hiya, this would have affected anyone, whether they ran the tests or not, it was simply the presence of the file test.py that caused the problem, but I guess they must've fixed this up before python-2.6 went final, since I now also can't recreate it. Marking as FIXED.

I am attaching the result of 'FEATURES="test" emerge -av1 dev-python/lxml' which fails in the testing phase both without and with the namespace fix patch. I would consider it only a minor bug, so please decide whether you want to re-open it.

(In reply to comment #6) Thanks, Matthias, but please don't re-open as it's a different issue which I've opened a new bug #241156 for (lxml-2.1.1 doesn't work with libxml2-2.7.2) and tests fail with Python 2.5 also.
