I've noticed that python-elementtree was removed in Factory. Will it be returning?
No, most likely it won't.
It's a very popular module that's used in a lot of Python projects, including osc.
osc already has code in place to use Python 2.5's xml.etree. (We just need to drop the python-elementtree requirement for $dist >= 10.2). All other packages that depended on python-elementtree should have been patched to use xml.etree. If there are still hidden problems with this, let me know!
Is there any functionally that existed in python-elementtree, which is not part of xml.etree that you relied on? (I only know of SimpleXMLWriter, which was only used by repoview and therefore is now being shipped with repoview.)
A list of differences can be found at http://codespeak.net/lxml/compatibility.html I have no problem porting my code, but other people may have trouble. Why not make ElementTree raise a DeprecationWarning for a short period to give people a chance to catch up? -- James Oakley jfunk@funktronics.ca --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
