[XML-sig] Error returned in installing PyXML-0.8.4

[Arc Riley]

Hey Jay

PyXML is bitrotten and obsolete. You'll find the functionality it
previously provided is now included in the Python standard library;

https://docs.python.org/library/xml.html

There are also more robust XML packages available to install;
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/lxml
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/NodeTree

lxml is more mature, nodetree (my own) is faster but still a bit young.
