I have tried and have a look at latest version of planet-venus.

There are still some issues with the latest html5lib (and also maybe a
few other dependencies), which make some test fail in planet-venus test
suite.

However these may not all be critical.

Maybe you could check your planet-venus config with the hackish package
for which I've pushed sources at [0] (see [1] for details).

As far as html5lib changes are concerned, I think the most immediate one
is the removal of XHTMLSerializer... so maybe that one could be re-added
in planet-venus so that it keeps working the same as before.

In any case, this should probably be discussed on python-apps-team, I
think.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
