[Jython-dev] Including PyXML in the distribution.

[<bc...@wo...>]

I'm planning on including parts of the PyXML files with the jython
distribution. To solve the problem of syncronizing with the PyXML
sources I suggest that we don't include any of xml files in jython.
Instead I have added an ant task "installXML" that will copy the
selected files from a separately downloaded PyXML source distribution
into the CVS directory of Jython.

This should allow CVS users to play with and test the xml support in
jython. The downside of this approach is that we can't restore a
complete version of an older jython release only from the jython CVS.

As of 0.6.5 of PyXML the jython support consist of drv_xmlproc driver
and minidom and 4DOM.

The xml/__init__.py will be taken from CPython. This should then allow a
user to install a _xmlplus replacement module that will override the xml
support that is included with jython.

Comments from people that have actually used the python xml support will
be highly appriciated.
