[Bug 343242] Re: python-xml seems to be broken with python-2.6: xpath does not work

[Daniel Werner]

Streamlining the use of the standard library xml module is probably a
good idea. However, the removal of python-xml breaks not only packages
in universe, but also third party applications. At my company, various
products include code built around PyXML's xpath module. While they run
perfectly well on our servers using older Python and PyXML versions, I
am currently only able to run test builds on my Ubuntu 9.04 workstation
after I used the "symlink booleans.so" hack mentioned above.

Is there a specific reason why PyXML shouldn't be in Ubuntu? Because now
that python-xml has been removed completely, I probably won't be able to
upgrade to future Ubuntu versions without pulling an outdated (or non-
packaged) PyXML back in.
