The problem is that depending on where elementtree was imported from, (xml.etree or elementteree, etc.) the elementtree.ElementTree will be imported or not. Changing the offending line to:

ElementTree._escape_attrib = _escape_attrib

gets rid of this particular problem, but I will not even comment why bzrlib is monkey-pacthing ElementTree and leaving it like that for all other code to fumble on it.

Old bug, already fixed.

What OS/bzr/plugins versions are you using ?

Bugs has been fixed in this area in recent versions of bzr.

[Vincent Ladeuil (vila)]

bah, concurrent updates :-/

[Radomir Dopieralski (ubuntu-sheep)]

I verified this bug in bzr_2.1.2-1 (squeeze), bzr_1.5-1.1 (lenny) and bzr_2.0.3-1 (lenny-backports) in Debian.

The existing bug has details of which versions of bzr contain the fix, 2.1.3 or later is needed.
