[PyKDE] buggy api crash gen_python_api_20050605

[Laurent Dufréchou]

Hello I've started gen_python_api.py script.
All is being processed well until svn library processing.
When it imports svn.client this library seems to contain a function
'import'!

Here is my little test on this api:
Python 2.4.3 (#1, Jul  6 2006, 00:11:26)
[GCC 3.4.6 (Gentoo 3.4.6-r1, ssp-3.4.5-1.0, pie-8.7.9)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import svn.client
>>> svn.client.__dict__['import']
<function svn_client_import at 0xb7526764>
>>> svn.client.import.__doc__
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    svn.client.import.__doc__
                    ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>>

If I launch gen_python_api.py I've got this error:
processing /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/NumTut
  NumTut                 : importing ... exceptions.ImportError

                                     ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Can you help me create a (good) patch to avoid this type of error?

(perhaps using a list of python keywords from python 2.4.3 help() )
['and','else','import','raise','assert','except','in','return','break','exec',
'is','try','class','finally','lambda','while','continue','for','not','yield','def','from','or','del','global','pass',
'elif','if','print'] ?
