Public bug reported:

If I install jython from aptitude the xml.etree will not work.

Steps to reproduce:

execute jython
> from xml.etree import ElementTree as ET
> ET.iterparse('some_xml_file.xml')
-> result is a traceback that says that xerces is not found.

If I install jython from installer jar distributed at jython.org, this
same command sequence will work.

I managed to get this working, by adding the following line to
/usr/bin/jython:

appendJar('/usr/share/java/xercesImpl.jar');

So it seems to me that the jython script created at installation is
missing a jar that is needed for etree xml operations.

Versions where confirmed:
Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
Mint   14

Package version 2.5.2-1
