Description Kaitlin Rupert 2008-12-23 17:53:05 UTC 
Description of problem:
PyXML throws a "SyntaxError: invalid syntax" error:

File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/_xmlplus/xpath/__init__.py", line 112, in <module>
from pyxpath import ExprParserFactory
File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/_xmlplus/xpath/pyxpath.py", line 59, in <module>
from xml.xpath.ParsedAbbreviatedRelativeLocationPath import ParsedAbbreviatedRelativeLocationPath
File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/_xmlplus/xpath/ParsedAbbreviatedRelativeLocationPath.py", line 31
as = ParsedAxisSpecifier.ParsedAxisSpecifier('descendant-or-self')
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

PyXML-0.8.4-11.x86_64
python-2.6-2.fc11.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always reproducible 

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Run python
2.  from xml import xpath
  
Actual results:

# python
Python 2.6 (r26:66714, Dec 10 2008, 15:22:18) 
[GCC 4.3.2 20081105 (Red Hat 4.3.2-7)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from xml import xpath
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/_xmlplus/xpath/__init__.py", line 112, in <module>
    from pyxpath import ExprParserFactory
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/_xmlplus/xpath/pyxpath.py", line 59, in <module>
    from xml.xpath.ParsedAbbreviatedRelativeLocationPath import ParsedAbbreviatedRelativeLocationPath
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/_xmlplus/xpath/ParsedAbbreviatedRelativeLocationPath.py", line 31
    as = ParsedAxisSpecifier.ParsedAxisSpecifier('descendant-or-self')
     ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Expected results:
This should import without an error.

Additional info:
This doesn't seem to be a problem using:  PyXML-0.8.4-10.x86_64 and python-2.5.1-30.fc10.x86_64
Comment 1 Johan Cwiklinski 2008-12-24 06:09:36 UTC 
'as' is a reserved keyword in Python 2.6

Issue affects both ParsedAbbreviatedRelativeLocationPath.py and ParsedAbbreviatedAbsoluteLocationPath.py.

I've just submitted PyXML-0.8.4-12 which should correct this : http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1020250
