Description Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-05-17 17:23:10 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.
Comment 1 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-03-08 07:27:05 UTC 
+  08 Mar 2012; Samuli Suominen <ssuominen@gentoo.org> inkscape-0.48.3.1.ebuild:
+  Replace dev-python/pyxml dependency with python.eclass and
+  PYTHON_USE_WITH="xml" wrt #367761

The old versions won't be fixed and will be removed after next stabilization round. Closing.
