XPath library bugged? AttributeError: Element instance has no attribute 'xpathAttributes'

[emas]

Binary package hint: python-4suite

Hi,
I have had a problem with python-4suite and its XPath library using google calendar plugin fo opensync.

The occurred error is reported in attached file. The error message is

"AttributeError: Element instance has no attribute 'xpathAttributes'"

and occurred whenever a new event was added from my phone (-->opensync) to google calendar (-->google calendar plugin).

I found on this site

http://<email address hidden>/msg503765.html

a possible solution, that involves modifying library Ft/Xml/XPath/ParsedAxisSpecifier.py.

I don't know what's is it, because I am not a python programmer, but that fixed the error and now I am able to write and read throug opensync to my google calendar.

My Ubuntu version is 8.10 and my python-4suite-xml version is 1.0.2-5.

Just as a reminder: This bug still exists in 9.04 and renders the google-calendar opensync plugin almost unusable for serious sync operation. As a possible patch is provided, I would like to bring this bug report to your attention again. Thanks.

I confirm that the modification listed in Debian bug 468601, message 25:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=468601#25

fixes the problem for me (Jaunty, 32bit x86, python-4suite-xml 1.0.2-7ubuntu1). With this I can get multisync0.90 / opensync to push things to google calendar.

I still see a problem in that multisync0.90 never seems to finish the sync, but this happens with other modules (syncml-obex-client + evo2-sync) so I don't believe it is related to this bug.
