[Tutor] xml.sax error

[Galen O'Neil]

I'm looking for the versions on these packages and I've become slightly
confused.  Sax is actually xml.sax and there are many things that come
up with 'pydoc -k expat.'  How are these packaged, or how can I find out
how they are packaged?  I ask so that I can look up the version number
for the big packages and not all the individual components.
  And what is the best way to find version numbers on these things,
pydoc, looking in the files?
