  Perhaps this can be moved to cvs.python.org or the starship, if you
don't object?

  I understood easySAX to depend on the parsers from the xml package;
if it is, then adding it to the standard library won't help unless it
includes a driver for xmllib (at which point you may as well just use
xmllib).

  This reminds me:  I still want to look at xml.parsers.xmllib to make 
the interface match that of xmllib.  While I may complain about
namespaces and the interface for them, proliferating incompatible
interfaces won't help the situation.
  Not sure when I'll have time; I really need to update t1python now
that I've updated my Linux installation at home.
