An XML document needs a root element. If you just have that PI in a template, that's not well-formed XML.

After adding a root element, this works fine for me, so I'm closing this as worksforme. Please reopen if you actually had a root element, and it didn't work.

Reopening. I actually had a root element (otherwise wouldn't Genshi fail to work at all?).

It just seems that a syntax error is being thrown for no reason. It works perfectly fine in a python interpreter.

This <?python ... ?> block was inside of a <head py:match="head"></head> tag using the normal Genshi example.

Further testing:

  • No syntax error results if it is NOT put in the <head> tag, but rather as a child of <html>. This seems to be a workaround for those who are interested.
  • file is not defined inside a Genshi template (another bug?)
  • You might need to do os.walk(somepath) (that is however not the issue)
