A part of PyXML was incorporated into Python 2.0 (mainly sax/minidom),
thus PyXML is an extension of the xml package of Python 2.x.

A part of 4Suite was incorporated into PyXML (originally only 4DOM,
now also 4XPath and 4XSLT); those parts where then removed/renamed in
4Suite (not yet done for 4XPath/4XSLT).

4Suite originally installed itself also as an extension for the xml
package; the next 4Suite release will stop doing so, and live
completely in the Ft package.

HTH,
