Re: [Python-markdown-discuss] Latest update breaks compatibility

[Waylan L. <way...@ic...>]

Jamie,

You haven't provided enough info for me to say for certain, but I would guess that at least one of the third party extensions needs to be updated to take advantage of the new additions to the extension API.

Btw, there are a couple adjustments you might want to make to your code:

1) Use keyword arguments: `extensions=[...]`

2) Use full paths to the extensions using Python dot syntax: 'markdown.extensions.extra' instead of 'extra' ... Or better yet, import the extension class and pass in an instance  (which would also alleviate your reported problem).

 See the Release notes for details: https://pythonhosted.org/Markdown/release-2.5.html

Note that your current code is pending depreciation and will no longer work in a couple more releases. Regarding 2) above, the recommended way is to import the class. See the docs for details: https://pythonhosted.org/Markdown/reference.html#extensions
