Hi there, We have code using PyXML modules xml.dom.ext.reader.HtmlReader and xml.dom.ext.Print
After an upgrade from ubuntu gutsy to hardy, this now breaks, because the hardy release moved python-xml from the default path (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-xml/+bug/215723 ) We have tried the workaround suggested in the changelog, which is to do: sys.path.append('/usr/lib/python%s/site-packages/oldxml' % sys.version[:3]) But, that has to be done before the first xml import, and determining the first xml import is a bit difficult in a large app... We're using these to solve the following problem: - to read possibly erroneous HTML (not XML) into a dom tree - and then to create an html fragment (part of the complete doc) which we have to render as a chunk of HTML (not XML) again. We decided on using these, based on http://www.boddie.org.uk/python/HTML.html . We don't really want to use libxml2dom as also suggested there, since it is not packaged for ubuntu (and dealing with ad-hoc unpackaged things would be a nightmare in our environment). We also tried the following at the start of the problematic module: import sys import test.test_support test.test_support.forget('xml') test.test_support.forget('xml.dom') sys.path.insert(0,'/usr/lib/python%s/site-packages/oldxml' % sys.version[:3]) But this also does not work... Any pointers to a quick workaround would be appreciated. (And to "the right way" too) Thanks -i _______________________________________________ XML-SIG maillist - XML-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/xml-sig
