Bazaar

Error in InstallationFaq?

Asked by Jim Garrison

http://bazaar-vcs.org/InstallationFaq

In the section titled "Checking for the installation of python modules", one instruction is:

    python -c "import cElementTree"

On my system (Fedora 9 w/Python 2.5.1) this fails. It works if I use "import xml.etree.cElementTree" instead.

Is this a buglet in the faq, or is there something wrong on my system?

It's not /wrong/, exactly, just out-of-date or incomplete. If you
install cElementTree manually, it'll be under the name "cElementTree".
Python 2.5 added it to the standard library, under the name
"xml.etree.cElementTree". (Bazaar will use either one.)

You do have a point, though. Someone should update the instruction.

Can you help with this problem?
