Hi,

I am using a freshly installed MacPython 2.1 and would like to know what I
should install extra to use the following script:

[uogbuji@borgia one-offs]$ cat html-to-xhtml-converter.py
import sys
from xml.dom.ext.reader import HtmlLib
import xml.dom.ext

#set up a re-usable reader object
reader = HtmlLib.Reader()

#parse HTML ffrom file or URI given on command line.  Return the DOM
document
doc = reader.fromUri(sys.argv[1])

#Just for kicks, write it out as XHTML, i.e. all lowercase, XML syntax for
empty tags, all attributes with given value, etc.

xml.dom.ext.XHtmlPrettyPrint(doc)

If anybody could point me in the right direction, If tried installing PyXML
but keep getting end-of line errors. After trying to correct these I keep
running into errors like, ReleaseNode not found; HtmlLib has no module named
Reader.

Any help as to how and what should be installed on MacPython 2.1 would be
greatly appreciated.

Hans
