Thanks! I'll apply it - is this really the only thing that is not py2.4 
compatible in rdflib? I think we gave up trying to support 2.4 a while back.

Our application is still running on Python 2.4 (RHEL5), so I'll be supporting 
rdflib on Python 2.4 even if the rdflib developers aren't :-)

With this patch applied to 3.1.0 all rdflib tests pass, as do the tests for our 
application, although we aren't running rdflib 3.1.0 in production yet. We have 
been using 3.0.0 successfully in production for some time now.

Sorry, new to python. Edited ny.py per patch, re-ran easy_install -U 
"rdflib>=3.0.0", getting error as if file wasn't edited:

File 
"/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rdflib-3.1.0-py2.4.egg/rdflib/plugins/serializ
ers/nt.py", line 47
