Hello Gagan,

What are you using PyXML for? It is not a part of the standard library.
If you require XML Parsing, the elementtree out there is a pretty good
parsing library and its included by default in Python 2.5.
http://docs.python.org/library/xml.etree.elementtree.html
http://effbot.org/zone/element-index.htm
And for HTML and general XML parsing, Beautiful Soup library which is
a separate package seems an easy to use and preferred one as well.

If any specific usage/questions with PyXML, just pose it and lets try
to find a way out.
Thanks,
Senthil
