+The Python interpreter you are using does not appear to have the 'pyexpat'
+library module installed.  For many Zope features to work properly, including
+Zope Page Templates, you must install a Python interpreter which includes the
+pyexpat module, or install the pyexpat library into your Python interpreter
+manually.  The file which represents the library is named 'pyexpat.so' (UNIX)
+or 'pyexpat.dll' (Windows) and is typically located in the 'lib-dynload'
+directory of your Python's library directory.  Some Python packagers ship the
+pyexpat module as a separate installable binary. If you are using a
+system-provided Python installation, you may want to look for a 'python-xml'
+or 'python-pyexpat' package (or something like it) and install it to make the
+pyexpat module available to Zope.  If you've compiled your Python interpreter
+from source, you may need to recompile and reinstall it after installing James
+Clark's expat libraries and development packages (look for libexpat.so and
+expat.h). Typically, these come as part of your operating system's libexpat
+and libexpat-dev packages, respectively.
+
+Run the configure script with the --ignore-pyexpat option to prevent this
+warning with the understanding that some Zope features may not work properly
+until you've installed the pyexpat module.
