"from xapian import *" in Python raises AttributeError

[Michel Pelletier]

>>> from xapian import *
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Document_unserialise'
>>>

This appears to be because this name is exported by the module's __all__ but does not actually exist in the module itself:

>>> 'Document_unserialise' in xapian.__all__
True
>>> hasattr(xapian, 'Document_unserialise')
False
>>>

Sorry for the poor formatting. I should have previewed first:

>>> from xapian import *
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Document_unserialise'
>>> 'Document_unserialise' in xapian.__all__
True
>>> hasattr(xapian, 'Document_unserialise')
False
>>>

I also neglected to mention this is xapian 1.1.4. I will try to verify on 1.2

patch smoketest to demonstrate this

I see this with trunk, by patching smoketest with the attached patch.

Richard?

Fixed in r14542.

And I've just checked and this doesn't affect 1.0.x.
