Package: python-pyrex
Version: 0.9.4.1-2
Followup-For: Bug #406025

Fedora Rawhide has a patch against Pyrex to make it generate Python
2.5-compatible code. Please apply this before enabling Python 2.5
support:

http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/devel/Pyrex/pyrex-python-2.5.patch?rev=1.1&view=auto

A common issue caused by the lack of this patch is that, for example,
dbus-python < 0.80 raises the exception "TypeError: exceptions must be
strings, classes, or instances, not type" when any exception occurs, if its
C code was generated using an unpatched version of Pyrex.

See also https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=221342 and
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pyrex/+bug/79534 which are the
same bug.
