Synopsis
PyXML bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this 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.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
