I have Expat installed and it works with Zope 2.7.0, but I need to use XML templates in a Zope 2.6.2 instance. My head is spinning after trying to untangle the mess. I have PyXML 0.8.3 and ParsedXML 1.4. The process is choking in TAL.XMLParser: def createParser(self, encoding=None): global XMLParseError try: from Products.ParsedXML.Expat import pyexpat XMLParseError = pyexpat.ExpatError return pyexpat.ParserCreate(encoding, ' ') except ImportError: from xml.parsers import expat XMLParseError = expat.ExpatError return expat.ParserCreate(encoding, ' ') ParsedXML.Expat doesn't exist in version 1.4 of ParsedXML, so it's trying to import expat from xml.parsers. This, in turn imports * from pyexpat, which is apparently failing. I created a build of PyXML and replaced the xml packages in lib/python and ZOPE_HOME/python2.1 with symlinks to _xmlplus in PyXML. Still nothing. Help? -- David Chandek-Stark Web Applications Developer Duke University - Perkins Library (919) 660-5859 dc@duke.edu
