Description

The only function used from pyxml is saxutils.escape, which is a trivial function.

I believe we can duplicate its behavior in util.py without committing karmic suicide. :)

Hmm, is this really true?

I thought xml.sax was part of Python?

Is it really not included in the standard distribution on all platforms?

On Suse, pyxml seems to be the 4thought XML stuff, not the xml.sax stuff we normally find in the standard python lib.

On Suse 9.0, python xml is not included in the default python package. I had to install python-xml in order to get Trac working properly with xml.sax. I don't know if this is typical or not (maybe other linux distro's include the xml stuff in the default python package?)

I checked out branches/0.6-stable (Mar/28/2004 12:45am EST). Here is the 'svn diff' output for fixing trac/util.py to no longer need python-xml.

Oh, one other comment. If the diff attached to Ticket #163 has been applied, be sure to remove the line in setup.cfg that references python-xml.

comment:5 by Jonas Borgström, 20 years ago

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

A modified version of the patch is applied to both trunk and 0.6-stable.

The patch above does the replacing in the wrong order. You have to replace &amp; before anything else.

Thanks!
