Right, but unless the list is made by a human being, there is no way to
generate it in JPython. I would have presumed that the CPython version
would "peek" in the xml/sax/parsers directory, but JPython can't do that
(AFAIK). I'm reasonably confident that JPython can't "peek" at Java
package directories and modules.
