[Python-markdown-discuss] Python-Markdown 2.0.3 Released!

[Waylan L. <wa...@gm...>]

For those that have noted that 2.0.2 did not actually fix the
ElementTree dependency problem in the setup script when using 2.3 or
2.4, I have just released 2.0.3 which fixes the problem for sure. I
actually removed ElementTree from my install of 2.4 and ran the script
both before and after the fix and confirmed that it actually fixed the
problem this time. Thanks to everyone who reported this.

Sorry it took so long, but I have been with limited connectivity the
past few weeks and don't even have access to my normal dev box to work
on this stuff.

As a side note, I wonder why this is such a problem for those
installing upstream packages. A quick `easy-install elementtree`
before installing the dependent package would have easily worked
around the problem. In fact, our install documents actually suggest
that as the way to install Markdown on older python versions.

As another aside, someone emailed a patch which I did not use. While I
appreciate the help, the patch switched from using distutils to
setuptools. We (or at least I) would rather avoid that mess -
therefore the simple patch I applied instead.
