Problem patching SimpleXMLRPCServer.py

[Thomas G. Apostolou]

Hello all,
I use Python 2.3.3 and try to patch SimpleXMLRPCSer ver.py with the patch i
got from Python.org.
so after changing to the directory where both SimpleXMLRPCSer ver.py and
SimpleXMLRPCSer ver.patch reside i run :
patch -i SimpleXMLRPCSer ver.patch -b --verbose --dry-run
SimpleXMLRPCSer ver.py
and i get :
Hmm...patch: **** unexpected end of hunk at line 47

The SimpleXMLRPCSer ver.patch file at lines 24-48 reads like :
--- 107,128 ----
import types
import os

! def resolve_dotted_ attribute(obj, attr, allow_dotted_na mes=True):
"""resolve_dott ed_attribute(a, 'b.c.d') => a.b.c.d

Resolves a dotted attribute name to an object. Raises
an AttributeError if any attribute in the chain starts with a '_'.
+
+ If the optional allow_dotted_na mes argument is false, dots are not
+ supported and this function operates similar to getattr(obj, attr).
"""

! if allow_dotted_na mes:
! attrs = attr.split('.')
! else:
! attrs = [attr]
!
! for i in attrs:
if i.startswith('_ '):
raise AttributeError(
'attempt to access private attribute "%s"' % i
***************
*** 156,162 ****

The SimpleXMLRPCSer ver.py at lines 107-128 reads like :
import types
import os

def resolve_dotted_ attribute(obj, attr):
"""resolve_dott ed_attribute(a, 'b.c.d') => a.b.c.d

Resolves a dotted attribute name to an object. Raises
an AttributeError if any attribute in the chain starts with a '_'.
"""

for i in attr.split('.') :
if i.startswith('_ '):
raise AttributeError(
'attempt to access private attribute "%s"' % i
)
else:
obj = getattr(obj,i)
return obj

def list_public_met hods(obj):
"""Returns a list of attribute strings, found in the specified
object, which represent callable attributes"""

i am trying to understand what is wrong, trying to change 107-128 to 107-125
but it doesn't seem to work...

any solution or explanation would be helpfull
