This bug is related to patch #531629 "Add multicall support to xmlrpclib" http://www.python.org/sf/531629 His applied patch includes 'yield' statement. Is this OK? I think xmlrpclib.py needs to keep compatible with older Python. On the top of xmlrpclib.py there is a note: # this version is designed to work with Python 1.5.2 or newer. I attached a patch to avoid 'yield' but this is a quick fix. I'm not sure if this is the right approach. There should be a better solution. I've also changed the coding style of the previous change to be consistent with other parts of this script.

Logged In: YES user_id=21627 Assigning to Fredrik, as he is listed as the maintainer in PEP 291. My proposal would be to drop xmlrpclib from PEP 291, and closing this report as "Won't fix". I don't see the need for this backwards compatibility. Fredrik, if you consider compatibility with 1.5.2 still desirable, please indicate so, and assign it back to me so I can fix the new feature.

Logged In: YES user_id=21627 Closed as a duplicate of #1009803. The patch attached really doesn't work, as it raises the exceptions out of order. I'm working on a proper patch to restore 2.1 compatbility.
