Bah.  I forgot about StylesheetReader.  Almost anything you do with the XPath 
or XSLT code triggers a StylesheetReader import.  At the least, I'll update 
that message to suggest PyXML 0.8 or 0.8.1 (due out this week).

If Python has PyExpat built in, then you don't need PyXML.  I think this will 
be the default in Python 2.3.  However, in 2.1 and 2.2, it might be less 
confusing to just say that PyXML is required.
