Here is a message that should help.  You should also be able to
find it in the comp.lang.python archives at DejaNews.

The binaries are there but a bit of fiddling is required to
get things working. (This is from memory but here goes)

The pyexpat and sgmlop dlls have to be copied into the
xml/parsers subdirectory. You also need to edit the
__init__.py file to include 'pyexpat' and 'sgmlop' in
the __all__ string.

Pyexpat requires xmlparse.dll. This dll needs to be
on your path.

I *think* that is what I did to get it all working:-)

Hope it helps,
