Hi Andrea:

I think I have a working implementation which will check to see if the
system is SuSE, if so, add the BuildRequires to be python-xml,
otherwise, use PyXML.  I just wanted to make sure that PyXML is
sufficient for what we need.  Can you give me something to test on my
Red Hat system?

Thanks,

Bernard
