Do we really want to encourage this? Wouldn't that just introduce more pyxml-like nightmares? I've been bitten way too many times by pyxml overwriting the regular xml package and causing version incompatibilities. I'd hate for this kind of thing to become common practice.
I like to give 3rd party software a chance to *extend* a name space package like xml rather then to overwrite it. As far as I understand your problem pyxml is overwriting the name space and claiming it for itself rather than extending it. Christian
