python-xml removal: please drop/replace (build) dependencies

sync with Debian unstable (1.4-3) wil close this bug in pypar2 package

Sync requested for pypar2.

I should have an eric upload to do next week. I'll deal with this at the same time.

sync with Debian unstable (2.2.10-2) will close this bug in gramps package. A sync request has been made here : https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gramps/+bug/199120

Not fixed in Debian unstable. This patch applies to the Ubuntu version: wxwidgets2.6_2.6.3.2.2-2ubuntu1

The patch removes python-xml from Suggests: in a couple of binary packages, and removes mention of python-xml in the long description of some packages.

Patch available

oops

A sync request has been made for html5lib to fix it (https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/html5lib/+bug/199123)

wxwidgets 2.8 is not yet in Debian. The attached patch applies to Ubuntu version: wxwidgets2.8_2.8.7.1-0ubuntu1. It performs the same changes as the 2.6 patch above.

Wxwidgets_2.6: I the debdiff above (1 hour ago), I forgot to set XS-Python-Version: >= 2.4 in debian/control. Attached interdiff fixes that.

serpentine_0.9-1ubuntu2: python-xml not removed in Debian unstable. Attached patch removes references to python-xml in debian/control. Package builds and serpentine runs albeit with error messages not related to this issue.

serpentine_0.9_1ubuntu3: attached log shows error messags when serpentine runs.

Emesene is fixed in Debian. I'll see if I can get a FF exception, and if not I'll upload a fix for this.

A bug has been filled for liquidwar where the new version fixes it : https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/liquidwar/+bug/199171.

Fix for livemix. This package doesnt have any other Python dependencies (!) so im not sure what python-xml was doing in there and i couldnt bump the Python. Here is the debdiff.

emesene -> feature freeze exception requested at but 199218

[14:57] <ScottK2> mok0: For you serpentine debdiff, I see that serpentine recently dropped from Main to Universe, so it needs maintainer adjusted and the earlier change "don't build the muine plugin since it's an universe package" can be reverted. Please give those a shot and then attach a revised debdiff.

I'm the upstream of 'serpentine'. What is this issue with Muine?

Regarding comment 14:
> serpentine_0.9_1ubuntu3: attached log shows error messags when serpentine runs.

That bug is fixed in trunk. It is not related, however, with the python-xml.

Serpentine uses the XPath --- not sure if it's present in another package --- part to load/save its state (in the format of a XSPF playlists).

If you could supply us with a patch, we could upload that at the same time.

It's my understanding that all of python-xml's functions are in Python2.4.

There's no upstream issue to worry about. When serpentine was in the Main
part of our Archive muine was disabled because it's in Universe. It can be
re-enabled now.

Unfortunately that's not true. There's quite some modules from python-xml which
aren't in python (and there are some more in python2.5 than in python2.4). You
need to check that the used modules are in python too. Otherwise the application
needs source changes.

xpath isn't in python, for example. Look at /usr/lib/python2.X/xml/ and
/usr/share/pycentral/python-xml/site-packages/_xmlplus/ to compare them.

Then serpentine will need choice 2 or 3 from the original bug.

David Futcher: I'm not sure what the dependency there is for (on a fast look the only .py file in the source is one called stats.py which doesn't seem necessary for anything), but it would be good to investigate why it was added before removing it (perhaps asking Michael Bienia). Note that a python build dependency isn't really necessary (even if it needed it), as python-xml already depends on python.

Re: serpentine, I merged the latest version from Debian unstable. The merge solves a few issues including the libxml dependency. Please see https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/serpentine/+bug/199277 and continue the discussion under that entry.

IIRC, python-4suite-xml implements the python module 'xml.xpath'. I think I can't test it because when I install python-4suite-xml python-xml gets installed as well.

I am sending in attachment a patch of the current version. This patch contains only minor bug fixes and translations.

Tiago,

Thanks for the patch. I've moved serpentine to a separate bug number, so I could do a merge of the most recent version from Debian, which closes a few Debian bugs. I have also merged the icon fix that had yet a third bug number in LP. I will take a look at your patch.

This procedure requires a feature freeze exception, but serpentine is queued to be processed.

Now please, watch this bug: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/serpentine/+bug/199277
and let's clear this python-xml removal bug of any further serpentine discussion.

@Morten Kjeldgaard: I will attach a patch that moves the dependency from python.xml to python 4suite in the end of the day.

pypar2 synced from Debian.

A new bug has been opened (https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnomecatalog/+bug/199479) to reflect the sponsoring process of the version that fix the gnomecatalog part of this bug.

zsi is going to be complicated and take more time than I have to deal with.

I'm assigning zsi to you based on our IRC conversation a few days ago. I think it's the last thing left.

pyslide doesn't work when python-xml is not present. I tried one of the examples with command 'pyslide /usr/share/doc/pyslide/examples/full.xml'
It gives following error.

pyslide can be fixed by adding python-lxml to its Depends. Attached is a debdiff. I have tested it with a couple of the examples shipped in the package.

Try:

pyslide /usr/share/doc/pyslide/examples/full.xml

That still fails for me with python-lxml installed.

True, i removed python-lxml from my system and it didnt work. Turns out i had forgotten to remove python-xml before testing :/ Will see if i can hunt it down a bit more and report back to Onkar.

A simple python script with those two lines doesn't work.
#!/usr/bin/python
import xml.dom.ext

I got the following message :
File "TGFXml.py", line 2, in <module>
    import xml.dom.ext
ImportError: No module named ext

Which package (exept python-xml), on a ubuntu, should provide this module ? I have python-4suite-xml and python-lxml installed.

None does. You will need to change it to either use python's xml modules (which
are a subset of python-xml AFAIK) or use 4suite/lxml APIs.

Ok. Thanks for your quick answer.

python-zsi still should have python-xml as dependency:
File /var/lib/python-support/python2.5/ZSI/parse.py contains:
from xml.dom.ext.reader import PyExpat
at line 55.

python-xml is still not a Dep of pyslide:

Debdiff attached.

 I've never tried to do a SRU before. Please let me know if the format is wrong. or if you want build or install logs.

All in all this is pretty straight forward. Can't run with out python-xml, so I add python-xml as a Dep. Supposedly this was done before, but apparently there was a mistake.

pyslide (0.4-10ubuntu2.1) hardy-proposed; urgency=low

  * Re-add dependency on python-xml. (LP: #199014)

Did you confirm it works without further patching if python-xml is
installed?

I am able to successfully run the files in /usr/share/doc/pyslide/examples with python-xml installed. Attepting to run them with out it produces the above failure.

ACK from motu-sru to upload pyslide 0.4-10ubuntu2.1 to hardy-proposed.
Please, manage similar upload in Intrepid ASAP.

I'm going to upload this to proposed. Please edit the bug and add a test case that describes the exact procedure to verify this fix works.

Uploaded. Now we wait for archive admins to accept.

Accepted into hardy-proposed, please test.

NB that I did *not* add hardy/intrepid tasks here, since that would cause the tasks to appear on all the source packages (tedious...). So please make sure that this is fixed in Debian and file a sync request, or upload the fix to intrepid, to make sure that it doesn't get lost.

The Debian package was never broken, so a sync should be fine for Intrepid. Sync request in Bug #224368.

It seems that python-xml removal broke mmpython:

>>> import mmpython
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/mmpython/__init__.py", line 127, in <module>

  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/mmpython/image/ImageInfo.py", line 39, in <module>
    from xml.utils import qp_xml
ImportError: No module named utils

The issue was also reported on http://code.google.com/p/subdownloader/issues/detail?id=16 with a possible fix (I have not tested it).

Reopening this task as the package is currently broken - it still depends on python-xml, see bug 214185

+1 for sru-verification of pyslide

- Removed python-xml from my system
- With the hardy version "pyslide /usr/share/doc/pyslide/examples/effects.xml" gave the error message: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'DefaultHandler'
- Installing pyslide from hardy-proposed (0.4-10ubuntu2.1) pulled in python-xml
- Now "pyslide /usr/share/doc/pyslide/examples/effects.xml" correctly opened a presentation

HARDY VERIFICATION:

Using version 0.4-10ubuntu2 from hardy-release:
Package returns output as per test case.

Using version 0.4-10ubuntu2.1 from hardy-proposed:
Package works correctly.

pyslide copied to hardy-updates.

With or without python-xml installed.

Reported as bug #248749, working on it. Thanks for spotting it.

I can't see its 'Fix Released' in pyslide. 0.4-12 says,
+Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${python:Depends}, python-pygame, python-xml

I am sorry that I changed status without commenting..

Ah - yes, I see that the pyslide "fix" involved declaring a dep on python-xml, which seems to not be the intent of this bug report. Reopening this task (as "Triaged", though - not "Incomplete", which implies there is information missing about the bug.)

memaid-pyqt is no longer around.

Nor is pyslide
