This message indicates that there exists symbolic conflicts between two
different Python modules (or Python itself if pyexpat is built statically).

If your system is Mac OS X or OpenBSD there is some information here:

http://uche.ogbuji.net/tech/akara/nodes/2003-01-01/osx

Otherwise, to determine if Python is built with a static pyexpat, try this
in a Python interpreter:

import sys
print sys.builtin_module_names

If pyexpat is listed there, rebuild Python with pyexpat as a shared module.
