I installed python2.3-libxml2 as a dependency package and removed it
again sometime later. I also use straw as a rss reader an suddenly it
failed to fetch new data after a restart (see below). But straw was
still working in a clean sid chroot, so I dug...

It seems, python2.3-libxml2 does not bytecompile its files in
/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages on its own, but somehow I got
bytecompiled files (*.pyc and *.pyo for every *.py file), probably due
to a python update which recompiled everything. These files were left
over on the package purge causing straw to hiccup.

Please read the Debian Python Policy, especially "2.5 Modules
Bytecompilation" how to correctly bytecompile and clean up:
http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-policy/ch-module_packages.html#s-bytecompilation


Straw was displaying the errormessage "'module' object has no attribute
'create_parser'" in the gui and the following Traceback on the console
it was started at:

PollManager.py:195:http_results: exception in summaryparser
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/straw/straw/PollManager.py", line 193, in http_results
    parsed = straw.SummaryParser.parse(data, self._feed)
  File "/usr/lib/straw/straw/SummaryParser.py", line 47, in parse
    parsed_content = feedparser.parse(content)
  File "/usr/lib/straw/straw/feedparser.py", line 2152, in parse
    saxparser = xml.sax.make_parser(PREFERRED_XML_PARSERS)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/xml/sax/__init__.py", line 81, in make_parser
    return _create_parser(parser_name)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/xml/sax/__init__.py", line 106, in _create_parser
    return drv_module.create_parser()
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'create_parser'

Version: 2.6.16-4
Distribution: unstable
Urgency: high
Maintainer: Mike Hommey <glandium@debian.org>
Changed-By: Mike Hommey <glandium@debian.org>
Description: 
 libxml2    - GNOME XML library
 libxml2-dev - Development files for the GNOME XML library
 libxml2-doc - Documentation for the GNOME XML library
 libxml2-python2.3 - Python 2.3 bindings for the GNOME XML library - dummy package for
 libxml2-utils - XML utilities
 python2.3-libxml2 - Python 2.3 bindings for the GNOME XML library
Closes: 300834
Changes: 
 libxml2 (2.6.16-4) unstable; urgency=high
 .
   * Urgency set to high because we avoid breaking packages depending on us
     when we don't properly bytecompile our python bindings.
   * debian/rules: Call dh_python. We now get proper maintainer scripts for
     bytecompiling files at install time and removing them at removal time.
     Closes: #300834.
   * debian/control: Adjust build dependencies accordingly.
