We've stumbled on a bug which causes spurious warning messages when validating against a certain DTD. This uses a package which isn't distributed with Active Python, so my first inclination was to file a bug with the maintainers of the PyXML package (a.k.a. python-xml). It turned out that there were two problems with this approach. The first is that this package is no longer maintained. The second problem is that the bug doesn't actually seem to be in the package itself. The first clue in this direction was that when I ran the repro case on an Ubuntu Linux workstation, the incorrect warning messages did not appear. So I pulled down the Ubuntu source package for python-xml and used it to install the package into my Active Python, and the problem is still present. This has been reproduced with multiple Windows operating systems, and multiple versions of Active Python (incuding the same version which is running on the Linux workstation without the buggy behavior). So it seems that there is some difference between Active Python's interpreter and libraries and the interpreter and libraries on Linux which cause the bug to appear in the former but not the latter. Should I file a bug report and post my repro case?
