[Python-modules-team] Bug#507266: buildSOAP does not work with python2.5 and faultType

[Thomas Viehmann]

Severity: serious
Version: 0.12.0-2
Package: python-soappy

Hi,

soappy does not correctly process faultType objects with default python.
As this breaks error reporting (somewhat crucial for servers) and other
packages using it (e.g. twisted.web), I think that this is serious.
The reason for the breakage lies in the traversal in the dump method.
Python 2.5 changes Exception to be a new-style class, this makes
(inheritance via SOAPpy.Errors.Error) faultType a new-style class and
it's objects are not of type instance anymore.

I'll look at NMUing with a patch very soon.

Kind regards

T.
