| Severity: | N/A |

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