Python comes by default with a xml.sax package that can work with the
pyexpat package; but the latter package only gets built on UNIX boxes if the
Expat libraries have been installed.

The Python xml-support package includes the pyexpat package for you, plus
updated/expanded XML python libraries. Or so I understand. ;)
