Hello Benjamin, I only reproduced (but not fixed) the problem. My only contribution (that corroborates that the python included in the binaries is not complete) is the confirmation that zope's python 2.1 behaves different than the non-zope python 2.1: zope python 2.1.2 (from http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.5.0/Zope-2.5.0-linux2-x86.tgz, broken): promitheas:~# Zope-2.5.0-linux2-x86/bin/python Python 2.1.2 (#1, Jan 25 2002, 13:17:56) [GCC 2.7.2.3] on linux2 Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Correspondingly, xml.sax also runs fine under zope when doing a standard install from the current 'unstable' Debian GNU/Linux distro. On Mon, Mar 25, 2002 at 03:13:12PM +0100, Benjamin Buffereau wrote:
I have a problem with the Expat parser (which is the default XML SAX parser) *specific to the Linux distribution of Zope* (everything works well under Windows). It seems that contrary to the Windows distribution, the Linux distribution doesn't include Expat.
I downloaded Zope-2.5.0-linux2-x86.tgz and followed the installation procedure. I created the following "useExpat2.py" external method:
import sys from xml.sax import make_parser def useExpat2(): make_parser() return "Expat parser created"
Then I called this external method from a DMTL method called "foo": <dtml-var useExpat2>
And I get the following error:
Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/LOCAL/Zope-2.5.0-linux2-x86/lib/python2.1/xml/sax/__init__.py, line 88, in make_parser SAXReaderNotAvailable: (see above)
PS: there is the same problem concerning Windows vs. Linux distribution of python 2.2: expat is included in the Windows version, not the Linux one. I managed to compile my own python2.2 under Linux including the Expat module, but
