[libcloud] [jira] Commented: (LIBCLOUD-1) Errors in XML serialization

Paul Querna commented on LIBCLOUD-1:
------------------------------------

is there anything we want to do here?

I kinda think the LIBCLOUD_DEBUG env variable has replaced the need to debug in element tree most of the time.

> Errors in the system can turn into XML serialization errors. The one I'm encountering now (which I haven't quite tracked down) is a name attribute with a value of None. ET constructs the nodes fine, but when you call ET.tostring() it gives a nasty exception, like:
> ...
>   File "/usr/lib/python2.5/xml/etree/ElementTree.py", line 777, in _raise_serialization_error
>     "cannot serialize %r (type %s)" % (text, type(text).__name__)
> TypeError: cannot serialize None (type NoneType)
> That's not very helpful. Guarding ET.tostring with some debugging code for exceptions would be handy.
