PyXML-0.7.1, python-2.2.1, and Redhat 7.3

Martin's suggestion solved my problem.  

BTW, entering the commands that Jonathan mentioned in an earlier post
still shows pyexpat.__version__ as 2.57. However, I've got two pyexpat
shared objects:

$ diff `find . -name pyexpat.so -print`
Binary files ./site-packages/_xmlplus/parsers/pyexpat.so and
./lib-dynload/pyexpat.so differ

Thanks!
