 which reminds me -- is that issue still open ?  martin?  fred?

It looks to me like it's fixed in SVN.

Interestingly, 15 minutes ago I was helping the Ubuntu python packager 
diagnose exactly the test failure mentioned in this email...

the issue isn't the one in that message though; it's the one in this message:

I don't agree with the change. You just broke source compatibility
between the core package and PyXML.

which, I fear, is still unresolved.  or ?

The problem is that now PyXML is no longer maintainable (not that it
has been maintained very well, though): The files that used to be
identical in PyXML and Python no longer are identical, so keeping
them synchronized adds unreasonable maintenance costs (IMO).

I don't know what the differences are.  Are they large?  Can we copy
the changes from Python back into PyXML?  Or modify both PyXML and
Python so they are the same?  Could we create a patch that would be
applied on importing PyXML to make things easier?

Primarily, things got renamed from xml to xmlcore in different
places. Porting them to PyXML is besides the point of the renaming,
because PyXML then would have to provide an xmlcore package, too.

As for actual solution strategies: I haven't yet researched any.
Fred indicated he has something in mind, but hasn't been forthcoming
over the past few months.
