Hi folks, I'm upgrading an old app from Quixote 1.x to Quixote 2.3, and I ran into an interesting problem: even though 'quixote.html.html_quote' no longer exists in Quixote 2.3, when using the 'cimport' PTL module you can import it. Try the following code: --- import quixote.ptl.ptl_import #quixote.ptl.ptl_import.cimport = None # <-- disable cimport quixote.ptl.ptl_import.install() from quixote.html import html_quote print 'html_quote:', html_quote --- If you do not disable 'cimport', then 'html_quote' gets imported but set to None. If 'cimport' is disabled (by uncommenting the second line) then the import fails properly. cheers, --titus
