You need the Python interface to the XML parser expat. Sometimes it is 
already installed, but apparently not at your installation. It comes 
with PyXML:

http://pyxml.sourceforge.net/

Be sure you're installing it in a place Zope can find it (on the Python 
path.) If you're using a precompiled Zope, it probably uses its own 
Python and not the system one.
