PyXML provides code from 2004. Since then, there were many fixes in stdlib xml module. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
The following commands test code from xml module (which might be _xmlplus) and show problems when |
| 30 |
PyXML is installed: |
| 31 |
python2.7 -m test.test_minidom |
| 32 |
python2.7 -m test.test_pyexpat |
| 33 |
python2.7 -m test.test_sax |
