xml.dom.minidom bug ?

[Sampsa Riikonen]

Dear All,

I am experiencing a weird problem with the
xml.dom.minidom module:
----------------------------------------
sampsa@linux-ty84:~/python> python easyxml.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "easyxml.py", line 1, in <module>
import xml.dom.minidom
File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/_xmlplus/dom/__init__.py", line
236, in <module>
import MessageSource
File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/_xmlplus/dom/MessageSource.py",
line 21, in <module>
_ = get_translator("dom")
File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/_xmlplus/FtCore.py", line 54, in
get_translator
f = gettext.translation('4Suite', locale_dir).gettext
File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/gettext.py", line 478, in translation
t = _translations.setdefault(key, class_(open(mofile, 'rb')))
File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/gettext.py", line 180, in __init__
self._parse(fp)
File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/gettext.py", line 264, in _parse
unpack = struct.unpack
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'unpack'
-------------------

A bug in the module?

And the weirdest thing is that I figured out how to
get around this problem long time ago, but now I don't
have a clue anymore... :/

Any help appreciated.

Cheers,

Sampsa

You don't happen to have a struct.py or struct.pyc lying around? To test
this, execute *in the same directory your above code fails!!*

$ python

The result should be something below /usr/lib/python2.5/, if it's not -
that's your culprit.
