When attempting to build the pdf version of the documentation from CVS, I get the following error: (/.../python/dist/src/Doc/lib/libxmlrpclib.tex ... ! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [input stack size=1500]. \font@name -> \OT1/phv/m/n/10 l.259 ...//www.xmlrpc.com/discuss/msgReader\$1208} , an approach ! ==> Fatal error occurred, the output PDF file is not finished! The '$' in line 259 of libxmlrpclib.tex seems to trip up pdflatex. If '%24' is substituted for '$', the link still works, and lib.pdf will build. Info about my version of pdflatex & linux: $ pdflatex --version pdfTeX (Web2C 7.4.5) 3.14159-1.10b kpathsea version 3.4.5 ... $ cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.5-7.95-default (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 3.3.3 (SuSE Linux)) #1 Thu Jul 1 15:23:45 UTC 2004

Logged In: YES user_id=1025672 Hopefully a bug from the 2.3 docs can be fixed at the same time. The PDF production tries to set the vertical bar '|' in textmode rather than math mode. An example of this problem is the documentation for set union, which looks like s--t instead of s	t. Should I submit this as a separate bug?

Logged In: YES user_id=6656 Confirmed, and fixed in the suggested way in Doc/lib/ libxmlrpclib.tex revision 1.17. "make pdf" still chokes, but on dist now. Haven't had a look to see why. aisaac0: you should *really* file another bug for that.
