Package: python-wbxml
Version: 0.1-1
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable
Currently python-wbxml is unusable, all calls to pywbxml cause an exception
because WBXMLParseError is not a subclass of BaseException:
>>> d = file("syncml-014.xml").read()
>>> pywbxml.xml2wbxml(d)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "pywbxml.pyx", line 64, in pywbxml.xml2wbxml
TypeError: raise: exception class must be a subclass of BaseException
The fix is very simple, see attached patch.
