New submission from Avi Kelman <avikelman@d3b.center>:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/xml.html continues to recommend defusedexpat, but that package won't install for any Python versions after 3.4 because the package isn't being maintained. https://bitbucket.org/tiran/defusedexpat/src/default/ linked from https://pypi.org/project/defusedexpat/ stops at 3.3. https://github.com/tiran/defusedexpat stops at 3.4. If the package doesn't actually work for newer Pythons, the recommendation should be removed from official documentation. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 355337 nosy: Avi Kelman, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: defusedexpat not supported past python 3.3/3.4 type: behavior versions: Python 3.5, Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38585> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
