There should've been a more helpful message associated with that. In any case, it generally indicates a problem with PyExpat not being found, which seems strange because even if Python was built without it, PyXML would've installed it (wrapping Expat 1.95.7; PyXML isn't really maintained anymore). Python's should be in your python lib-dynload dir, e.g. on my FreeBSD system it's at /usr/local/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload/pyexpat.so. PyXML's should be at site-packages/_xmlplus/parsers/pyexpat.so. > Do I need to set some Python environment variables?
