<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The python version is 2.3.5 that comes along with Zope.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>I am trying to use ZSI 2.0 [Zope Solera Interface] with my zope server to be able to utilize web services. During the installation of this package it looks for PyXML, so I downloaded PyXML and got stuck with issue. I have not researched which part of PyXML is needed in ZSI, but I will try to find out.</DIV>
