Thank you very much Fredrik, this does seem to be the problem I was having. > this > poster claims to have a fix: > > http://www.modpython.org/pipermail/mod_python/2004-May/015569.html In fact two fixes are offered in this one short post :-) The second fix, linking Python against the system Expat library, is specifically warned against in Modules/Setup: """ #... Source of Expat 1.95.2 is included in # Modules/expat/. Usage of a system shared libexpat.so/expat.dll is # not advised. """ So I went with the first fix -- I upgraded the system library to Expat 1.95.8 to match the Expat bundled with Python 2.4 (the excerpt above is apparently a little outdated). Everything is now working again. Jeffrey -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
