Hello all, I use Python 2.3.3 and try to patch SimpleXMLRPCServer.py with the patch i got from Python.org. so after changing to the directory where both SimpleXMLRPCServer.py and SimpleXMLRPCServer.patch reside i run : patch -i SimpleXMLRPCServer.patch -b --verbose --dry-run SimpleXMLRPCServer.py and i get : Hmm...patch: **** unexpected end of hunk at line 47
The SimpleXMLRPCServer.patch file at lines 24-48 reads like : --- 107,128 ---- import types import os ! def resolve_dotted_attribute(obj, attr, allow_dotted_names=True): """resolve_dotted_attribute(a, 'b.c.d') => a.b.c.d Resolves a dotted attribute name to an object.
