Proposed patch for python 2.[56] to enable elementtree



Attached is a patch to simply install the _elementtree module Pythons 2.5 and 2.6 and deprecate the textproc/py-elementtree package.

The ElementTree package, and its C-optimized module called cElementTree, provides support for processing XML files. We have a corresponding textproc/py-elementtree package, which curiously doesn't install the optimized cElementTree module.

Python 2.5 and 2.6 now include ElementTree and cElementTree. Unfortunately the in-tree variants have had some renaming from the external distributions: the classes have been moved from elementtree.* to xml.etree.*, and the cElementTree module has been renamed to _elementtree.

Unfortunately because of the renaming, simply installing the py- elementtree is not sufficient to enable the functionality. Since the py-elementtree package must support lang/python2[34], we can't just change py-elementtree to follow the EXTRACT_ELEMENTS approach used in py-expat. We could add a py-celementtree with a CONFLICTS on py- elementtree.

But since _elementtree doesn't have any other dependencies, I propose we simply change the lang/python2[56] packages to install the in-tree _elementtree module, and mark the py-elementtree package as being for Python 2.4 and 2.3. The patch also adds _sqlite3 to the disabled modules in python26; this seems to have been missed.

Brian.
