Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: lplatypus (ldeller) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: xmlrpclib crash when PyXML installed Initial Comment: The xmlrpclib module in the standard library will use a 3rd party C extension called "sgmlop" if it is present. The last version of PyXML (0.8.4) includes this module, but it causes crashes with Python 2.5 due to the use of mismatched memory allocation/deallocation functions (PyObject_NEW and PyMem_DEL). It is unlikely that sgmlop will be fixed, as PyXML is no longer maintained. Therefore sgmlop support should be removed from xmlrpclib. (In case you're wondering why anyone would install PyXML with Python 2.5 anyway: there are still some 3rd party libraries which depend upon PyXML, such as ZSI and twisted). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Alan McIntyre (alanmcintyre) Date: 2007-08-13 06:06 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1115903 Originator: NO I'm assuming that stuff won't be removed from 2.5 because it's in maintenance, so should this be removed or changed to raise a deprecation warning in 2.6? As an aside, how about removing references to _xmlrpclib (which appears to have been removed long ago) as well? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1772916&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
