4Suite >= 0.10.0 works with Python 1.5.2 and 2.0.  Current version is
0.10.1

No, actually, PyDOM is now obsolete.  4DOM is now the "official"
full-blown DOM from the Python/XML SIG and included in PyXML.

Furthermore 4Suite >= 0.10.1 bundles PyXML for easier installation.

As it should always have.

I'd have to know what exactly you found unclean before.  There is no
reason why you can't download 4Suite-0.10.1.tar.gz, untar it, run
"python setup.py install", and be completely ready to go.

But just in case, there are a 4Suite Installation HOWTOs for UNIX and
Windows.
