[Jython-users] Problems with xmllib

[L. H. <hu...@ha...>]

Hi,

ok I'm working on Linux and on MacOS.
I installed the latest jython 2.0a3 on both machines:

Linux:
Jython 2.0alpha3 on java1.2.2 (JIT: sunwjit) 
MacOS:
Jython 2.0alpha3 on java1.1.8 (JIT: MRJ22Jitc.01)

A little project in training the presentation of some 
xml-data which describe the layout of computer-infrastructure at work 
(the first steps were done with Python2.0). My students didn't have the
time to implement, so I gave it a try on jython:
xmllib is part of the actual jython-distribution.

Here begins my problem:
on my linux-machine everything works fine.

But after shifting the runable-source-code to the Mac I get some strange
errors.
After I found out that most of them could be eliminated, because I
did'nt set the path in the right way,
one serious error is still remaining:

Error around line 505 of xmllib.py
Ok, I gave it a try
pure
xmllib --> jython 2.0a3
invalid syntax, line 508
ok I decided to import xmllib at the command line
sre_parse.py line 504

As workaround, I set the sys.path so, that the Python2.0 Libs where
used.
The same effect appears.

Perhaps there is someone out there, who is able to check it on a Mac,
too.

The problems doesn't arrive on my Linux-System.
