Correct. Those are the "type=" lines. It defaults to ZLIB. (The actual names 
of the sections don't matter at all, so long as they're unique.)

Since you mentioned py2exe, I assumed you were using Standalone (where you'd 
have only one PYZ section, called APPZLIB), since that's (roughly) the 
equivalent of py2exe.

So put the line
packages=_xmlplus 
in the APPZLIB section.
