[issue1985] Bug/Patch: Problem with xml/__init__.py when using freeze.py

[Toni Brkic]

New submission from Toni Brkic:

Hi,

I tried to do freeze.py for my script that uses ElementTree.
But got the this error:

  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/xml/__init__.py", line 45, in <module>
    _xmlplus.__path__.extend(__path__)
  AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'extend'

The reason seems that _xmlplus.__path__ is a string
after freeze.py.

I fixed it by changing the import to:

            try:
                _xmlplus.__path__.extend(__path__)
                sys.modules[__name__] = _xmlplus
            except AttributeError:
                pass

This might not be the correct solution but it works for me. I do not
really now
how the __path__ variable works in a freezed environment.

Best regards
