   They had been using CVS:

https://web.archive.org/web/20151113082010/http://sourceforge.net/p/pyxml/code/

   CVS repo web viewer shows some subdirectories but it seems there is
no sources.

   I also failed to rsync from their CVS pserver and I doubt they have a
backup -- SF stopped supporting CVS long ago.
