genshi trunk doesn't work on python 2.3

[anonymous]

Not sure if this is intentional or not. I hope it's not.

The two issues I ran into before I gave up were:

• ast.GenExpr? doesn't exist, and
• "exec foo in bar, baz" won't accept a non-dict for baz.

I ended up just using 0.4.4 instead.

For the second point, isn't that a matter of doing:

genshi/template/base.py

                 yield kind, (tag, Attrs(new_attrs)), pos
 
             elif kind is EXPR:
-                result = data.evaluate(ctxt)
+                result = data.evaluate(_ctxt2dict(ctxt))
                 if result is not None:
                     # First check for a string, otherwise the iterable test
                     # below succeeds, and the string will be chopped up into

(not tested, just thought about that while looking at the code)

Why explicitly check the version, and not do something like hasattr(ast, 'GenExpr')?

There are some test failures remaining (mostly due to missing line number reporting in Expat), but otherwise trunk should now work correctly on Python 2.3 after [822:826].
