genshi 0.6-2ubuntu1 FTBFS on amd64 in raring

[Robie Basak]

Also affects genshi 0.6-3 in sid, which should be able to be synced as the entire Ubuntu delta has been taken up in Debian.

The problem is that raring's python2.7 incorporates changeset http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/eb7ea51e658e/ which changed the definition of tokenize.PseudoToken which genshi depends on. This causes an infinite loop in genshi's test suite.

Reported upstream at http://genshi.edgewall.org/ticket/540

Workaround: change the definition of PseudoToken in genshi.template.interpolation to be hardcoded to what Python defined it as before (eg. from quantal). This seems to work and I have a patch, but I'd like to hear what upstream think about it or if there is a better fix.

In the meantime, genshi will also FTBFS due to what I think is a Python regression which I'll report separately, so might as well hold off on a fix until that is resolved.

Second cause of this FTBFS is a possible Python regression in bug 1097783.

[Robie Basak (racb)]

Bug 1097783 is now fixed in raring, so just this issue remains. I've updated upstream and am waiting to hear back from them. Unless they have a better suggestion or an objection, hardcoding the old definition of PseudoToken in a patch makes sense to me.

[Robie Basak (racb)]

Fix attached. This includes a merge which drops the previous Ubuntu delta since both previous patches have been adopted in Debian and these are Debian's only changes. But this fix introduces a new one.
