Turtle serializer ignores the 'base' parameter · Issue #248 · RDFLib/rdflib (original) (raw)

Hi,

I found this post by Ed Summers in 2007 [1] reporting exactly this same issue). By looking at the code [2] it seems the 'base' parameter is indeed ignored on the startDocument method. This is backed by my own experiments, it seems it still stands, despite the promise [3] by Gunnar that it would be fixed.

I could fork RDFLib and try to fix it myself, but I believe someone more familiar with RDFLib should be able to do it a lot faster than me.
