Duplicating complex code in two different projects, so that they have
to be kept in sync manually at the cost of time and effort, is the
mistake.  Another one is tying a fast-moving project such as PyXML to
the slower releases of Python; Python 2.0 was released on October 16,
and there have been two PyXML releases (0.6.2 and 0.6.3) since then.
