It is very helpfull. Thank you for the explanation.


I tried to install xml under jython. To install I did this:

- Installed PyXML 0.6.2 under CPython2.0.
- Copies CPython2.0's Lib/xml to jython Lib/xml directory.
- Copies _xmlplus from the CPython2.0 directory to jython
  Lib/_xmlplus  directory.
- Added a "python.xml.sax.parser = xml.sax.drivers2.drv_xmlproc" to
  my registry file.

Something works, but most of the tests from 0.6.2's test suite crashes
or throws exceptions. There seems to be plenty of room for improvements
to its jython integration.

If anyone will try to make these improvements, I would like to include
the xml package in the jython installer. A CPython compatible API to xml
processing would be very valuable.
