Ah! I think this is part of your problem. the XML package
is a python module and uses commands like:-

	from xml.parsers import pyexpat

To get this to work you need the xml package to be in a
subdirectory called xml. I renamed my xml-0.5.1 to be
xml and put in beneath my main Python directory. i,e,
c:\program files\Python\xml

The directory "c:\program files\python" is in my PythonPath variable
and so "import xml.parsers" finds what it wants in
	c:\program files\Python\xml\parsers

The one to edit is the one in the parsers subdirectory.
