PEP-291 says that xmlrpclib should be 1.5.2 compatible.

This patch:
revision 1.31
date: 2003/10/31 13:49:36; author: loewis; state:
Exp; lines: +66 -2
Patch bpo-531629: Add multicall support.

however, introduced code with the 'yield' keyword. This
is completely and utterly non-1.5.2 compatible. Either
the PEP (and the comment in the file) should be
updated, or the code should be rewritten to not use yield.

Martin? You checked in the patch, what's your opinion?

After discussion with /F, I have now bumped the minimum
supported version to 2.1; fixed in xmlrpclib.py 1.34 and
pep-0291.txt 1.11. Fredrik still has 1.5.2 installations he
needs to support, but thinks he can manage maintenance on
xmlrpclib for these on his own.

The code, however, still has 'yield' in it, and is therefore
_not_ 2.1 compatible.

Should I close bug bpo-842600 as a duplicate?
(Although it was submitted last November.)

This is now fixed in xmlrpclib.py 1.35.
