Cannot import name sax

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install Editra 0.5.15 on Ubuntu Karmic
2. Try to run from terminal

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Editra should load. I get this instead:

    main()

Hi,

Did you have an older install of Editra that you installed this one over?

I ask this as because I think that there is an old 'xml.py' in
(/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/Editra/src/syntax/). All of those 
modules
should have been renamed to _xml.py.

Can you post an 'ls' of 
/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/Editra/src/syntax/

Thanks,

Cody

Yes I did have 0.5.05 installed before installing this over.

/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/Editra/src/syntax/ | grep xml
synxml.py
synxml.pyc
synxml.pyo

Strange, how did you install?

Suggest removing /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/Editra and reinstalling 
or
just removing the xml.py and xml.pyc file might be just enough but since those 
are
there there are likely lots of other old files there too that shouldn't be.

I just untarred and ran setup.py install. Removing xml.py got it working. 
Thanks! :)

Hi,

Thanks for the info. This is kind of a big issue then since the install is not
removing old files before adding the new ones.

Leaving open until I resolve this issue.

Thanks,

Cody

Fixed

* Check for existing install and attempt to remove existing source directory 
prior to
installing new files.
