   On the other hand, if I and/or the PyXML package maintainers "botched" things,
   it could happen to anyone.  What's the correct response to this?  Just tell
   me (and many others?) to go fix my (our) botched installation(s)?  Or for
   the Arusha code to be robust enough to deal with these messes?

Jonathan:

It would be a reasonable response, telling me (and others) just to go fix
the botched installation (for if it's broken for Arusha, it's broken for
other packages as well).  If so, you should add some cautions to the
Arusha install notes, e.g., "don't use the current SourceForge PyXML RPM,
because it's broken" or "do an rpm -qlp of the RPM to check..." or, "before
attempting try-ark, check the following things in an interactive python
session first" or ...

Do I read you correctly that python 2.0 has the needed xml pieces there by
default, so that no separate PyXML installation may be necessary?

:P

(Sigh, I sense I'll have to dive into finally learning Python after all.)
