enterstring method does not work with "<" character

[codeNameMahi]

I am unable to input the "<" character using the enterstring method:

>>> ldtp.enterstring("frmWindow", "txtField", ">")
1

>>> ldtp.enterstring("frmWindow", "txtField", "<")
Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ldtp/client.py", line 70, in __call__ return self.__send(self.__name, args) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/xmlrpclib.py", line 1602, in __request verbose=self.__verbose File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ldtp/client.py", line 187, in request raise e xmlrpclib.Fault: <Fault 8002: 'string index out of range'>

(all special characters minus "<")
>>> ldtp.enterstring("frmWindow", "txtField", "~!@#$%^&*()_+=-,./?[]{}|")
1

(now including "<")
>>> ldtp.enterstring("frmWindow", "txtField", "~!@#$%^&*()_+=-,./?[]{}|<>")
Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ldtp/client.py", line 70, in __call__ return self.__send(self.__name, args) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/xmlrpclib.py", line 1602, in __request verbose=self.__verbose File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ldtp/client.py", line 187, in request raise e xmlrpclib.Fault: <Fault 8002: "'KeyComboAction' object has no attribute '_func'">

Bit of a guess. but since this is using XMLRPC underneath it could be worth experimenting with things that might work in XML ?

<
<

Or construct it using CDATA
<![CDATA[<]]>

(Though some of these might get eaten by the special character code)

You can use a CDATA section to avoid content being parsed by the parser.
