Unable to use Templates

[Jarno Elovirta]

Just installed Genshi 0.5.1 on OS X 10.5 from source tarball. When I
try to use Templates, I get a AttributeError.

HINFLMAC030-2:Temp jelovirt$ python -V
Python 2.5.1
HINFLMAC030-2:Temp jelovirt$ cat test.py
from genshi import XML
from genshi.template import MarkupTemplate

stream = XML('<h1>Hello, World!</h1>')
print stream.render()

stream = MarkupTemplate('<h1>Hello, $name!</
h1>').generate(name='world')
print stream.render()
HINFLMAC030-2:Temp jelovirt$ python test.py
'<h1>Hello, World!</h1>
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 7, in <module>
stream = MarkupTemplate('<h1>Hello, $name!</
h1>').generate(name='world')

python2.5/compiler/transformer.py", line 133, in parseexpr
return self.transform(parser.expr(text))
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'expr'

Or, when I try to load a Template from a separate file, I get

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test2.py", line 16, in <module>
tmpl = loader.load('form.template.html')
File "build/bdist.macosx-10.5-i386/egg/genshi/template/loader.py",

python2.5/compiler/transformer.py", line 129, in parsesuite
return self.transform(parser.suite(text))
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'suite'

Any clues what I'm missing?

Cheers,

Jarno

It looks like you have another parser.py somewhere on your
PYTHONPATH. You'll have to rename that so that it doesn't conflict
with Python's own module with the same name.
