No, in the 2.1b2 I installed on my machine, from the installer I sucked down
from SourceForge, the line is what I said it was:

__version__ = "$Revision: 1.9 $".split()[1]

So you're talking about something else, but I don't know what ...

Ah, OK!  It's that silly source tarball, Python-2.1b2.tgz.  I just sucked
that down from SF, and *that* does have the damaged line just as you say (in
Lib/xml/__init__.py).

I guess we're going to have to wait for Guido to wake up and explain how this
got hosed ... in the meantime, switch to Windows and use a real installer
<wink>.
