PyXML bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated PyXML package that fixes various bugs is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

PyXML provides XML libraries for Python. The distribution contains a validating
XML parser, an implementation of the SAX and DOM programming interfaces, and an
interface to the Expat parser.

This updated PyXML package includes fixes for the following bugs:

• Prior to this update, PyXML contained the shebang line, "#!/usr/bin/env
  python". This made it difficult to install alternative versions of Python on the
  system. With this update, the shebang lines in Python executables have been
  changed to, "#!/usr/bin/python", to ensure the Python interpreter installed on
  the system is used. (BZ#521307)
  
• Python packages provide extra metadata about the package in the form of eggs.
  Prior to this update, PyXML-0.8.4-py2.4.egg-info was missing. As a result, one
  of the scripts of the Zolera Soap Infrastructure (ZSI) Python module did not
  work correctly as it could not find the PyXML libraries. As a result of this
  update, the missing information has now been provided, the Python eggs are now
  built correctly, and python-ZSI module no longer fails at runtime. (BZ#472009)
  

All users of PyXML are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes
these bugs.
