:?) Thanks for the concerned/panicked response, Akkana :?). I was
being too simplistic in my statement, I know & I apologize. A little
background - I'm a programmer, and although I know _nothing_ about
python (but I may have to pick up a book on this one), I should be
able to figure out what needs to be where. and I like to play, so
more's the fun! %^}

But OTOH, if there's any help or pointers anyone can offer to ease
this task, I'd be greatly appreciative. I'd much rather just
'plug+play' on this one rather than go thru all this hassle, so first
I'm going to check out what Anthony had suggested about looking for
the final release of the desktop package & see if I can just install
the parser from that.

The main thing is, if anybody knows of a tarball available instead of
a rpm, please let me know.
