Hi there, On Python 2.3 this segfaults with lxml 1.1 (it works with lxml 1.0):
from lxml import etree etree.parse('sfadfdfd')
On python 2.4 we get an error as we should (as the file sfafdfd doesn't exist). Additionally, the tests don't work anymore under Python 2.3. For lxml 1.1 some dependencies on Python 2.4's doctest module exist that don't work on Python 2.3, probably because we dropped the custom doctest that I added initially. For lxml 1.0 this is less bad, but there are still some dependencies on 'sorted()' and such in the tests. I don't think we actually ever explictly dropped support for Python 2.3. Perhaps we should for a particular version of lxml, but it'd be nice if we could track down this bug. It might indicate something wrong in Python 2.4 that just doesn't show up right away, I don't know. Regards, Martijn
