Hello,
Apologies for restarting the discussion, but I'm still not convinced
about the arguments for removing PyXML. (Like others who have commented
on this issue, I have some code that depends on PyXML's XPath
capabilities; changing to another implementation would require
substantial changes.)
I do realise that PyXML has been inactive for a while (the latest file
available for download on the SourceForge page dates back from November 2004,
which is almost 5 years ago). However, I wonder if this really is an argument
for discontinuing its inclusion. Does a project need to have continuous
releases to be included? If something is not broken, why fix it?
A good reason for not including it would be that it breaks with some newer
versions of Python and that it hasn't been maintained, but perhaps the reason
there haven't been any new releases is simply the fact it doesn't need any
urgent maintenance (triggered by external changes). Are there any issues that
need maintenance because of recent changes in Python?
** Changed in: python-xml (Ubuntu)
Status: Won't Fix => New
