expat not found...?

[Pierre Fortin]

Compiled 2.1 on Linux Mandrake 7.2 system (incl expat)...

...
gcc -fPIC -g -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -I. -I./Include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H 
-I/usr/local/src/Python/expat/xmlparse -c ./Modules/pyexpat.c -o
Modules/pyexpat.o
gcc -shared  Modules/pyexpat.o  -L/usr/local/src/Python/expat -lexpat  -o
Modules/pyexpat.so
...

Yet, when I run a sample script (from
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/l-pxml.html?open&l=912,t=grx,p=xpyth)...

xmlsaxtest.py:
  "Simple SAX example, updated for Python 2.0+"
  import string
  import xml.sax
  from xml.sax.handler import *

  class QuotationHandler(ContentHandler):
  ...

it won't even get past the imports...

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "xmlsaxtest.py", line 3, in ?
    import xml.sax
  File "xml.py", line 1, in ?
    import _xmlplus.parsers.expat
ImportError: No module named _xmlplus.parsers.expat

Probably missing something obvious/subtle; but...  

There is no README file in the expat distribution; though I imagine it needs to
be installed somewhere...  if so, what goes where precisely...?

Thanks,
Pierre

PS: here are the files I have in expat:
