Except for Windows users ...  I have actually temporarily changed the 
address in the registry to persuade pyxml to install in the distribution 
I want (e.g., Python2.3, Zope 2.7, Plone, etc.).  Just export the 
original settings to a file, and you can restore them afterwards.

I wish that the Python installer would provide for multiple 
installations of the same version on Windows, but it doesn't.

Cheers,
